Lion Life Cycle Presentation - What Do You Think?

In summary, the conversation discusses a presentation about the lion life cycle, with suggestions for improvements such as avoiding colloquialisms and adding information about lionesses. The presenter has since added slides and a video about gestation and lionesses, and the conversation ends with the suggestion of creating presentations for other big cats.

Here is my presentation about the lion life cycle: https://prezi.com/uwvap0ljxdso/lion-life-cycle/ What do you think? Am I missing anything?

Do you think I should do one on cheetahs, 1 on leopards, 1 on jaguars, and 1 on tigers as well?

I'm not sure what the target audience is supposed to be, but in any case I'd avoid colloquialisms - perhaps you could find more formal/neutral substitutes for 'kicked out' and 'had enough'? 'Chased away' and 'spent' for example.
There's also a bit of too much focus on the male, I feel. Isn't there anything that you could include in parallel about females? How their position in the group changes, what dynamics are there as she grows older etc.
Also, while I learned something about how the mating happens and how long the heat lasts, I don't know when females actually are in heat. Is it seasonal? Once per year?
You could add a slide or a note about gestation period.

Okay I have added a slide about gestation and a few slides about lionesses including a video Born Predator which is a documentary of a nomadic lioness Miata and her cub Moja. The lioness in a pride slide talks about the composition of a lion pride and what the lionesses do in a pride. I have also edited the mating one to include that lionesses are not seasonal when it comes to whether or not they are in heat.

I truly enjoyed your presentation, I'd certainly appreciate if you made for other big cats :smile:
 

What is the life cycle of a lion?

The life cycle of a lion typically consists of four stages: birth, cubhood, adolescence, and adulthood.

How long do lions live?

Lions can live up to 16 years in the wild, but some have been known to live up to 25 years in captivity.

What do lions eat?

Lions are carnivorous animals and primarily eat large mammals such as buffalo, zebra, and antelope. They may also eat smaller animals like hares, birds, and reptiles.

How do lions reproduce?

Lions typically reproduce through sexual reproduction, with males and females mating during the female's estrus cycle. The gestation period for female lions is around 110 days, after which they give birth to a litter of 2-4 cubs.

How do cubs learn survival skills?

Cubs learn survival skills from their mothers and other members of their pride. They observe and imitate behaviors such as hunting, stalking, and marking territory, and gradually develop their own skills as they grow older.
