Lion
Because of muscular structure, they have relatively low bone mass
Have a flexible spinal cord, consisting of 30 spinal vertebrae
Overall skeletal system is very similar to that of a domestic cat
The bones in their forepaws are twisted in such a manner to give them the lion greater range of motion while running
Long body, measuring around 4.5-6.5 feet from head to the end of the body
About 3 feet tall on average
A lion's skull is very similar to a tiger's, but the distinct feature of a lion's is the broader nose openings that are lower down on the skull then that of a tiger's
A very strong maseter muscle is connected to jaw to grip prey and drag it
Strong neck muscles assist in dragging prey to place of consumption
