Discover the past It’s important to know how some of the current features work. And thanks to scientific research, we know a lot about certain types of animals that are of great interest to people.
This is the story of lions. Being an animal that is rare and not many people have had the opportunity to see it in its natural habitat, there are many questions we have about the species.
Thanks to the fossils in their teeth, scientists have recreated the diet of Kenyan lions. However, The results of this research are not very useful for the people.
Among other things, the results showed that the remaining two lions were male and brothers, from Kenya or Tanzania, who ate six types of animals: giraffes, humans, oryxes, waterbuck, wildebeest and zebra.
This has been revealed by DNA analysis of the hairs that live in the cavities of the teeth. two examples of Kenyan lionspreserved at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago for a century.
The authors intend to continue improving the lions’ diets over time to know exactly when their habit of cannibalism began.
