Contoh Narasi Report Text:

The Lion (Panthera leo)

General Classification:
The lion (Panthera leo) is one of the big cat species in the family Felidae. It is commonly referred to as the "king of the jungle" due to its majestic appearance and dominant role in its habitat. Lions are typically found in Africa and a few parts of India.

Description:
Lions have a muscular build, large heads, and strong legs. Male lions have a prominent mane, which makes them easily distinguishable from females. Lions live in groups called prides, which consist of related females, their offspring, and a small number of adult males. They are carnivores, meaning they primarily eat meat, and hunt in packs to catch large prey like zebras, buffaloes, and antelopes. Lions can run at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour in short bursts when chasing prey. Despite their strong build, lions face threats from poaching and habitat loss.
