The statistics presented here describe a male African lion, which is 5 to 8 feet long and weighs 330 to 550 pounds. Females are slightly smaller but use the same statistics.
===Combat===
'''[[SRD:Pounce|Pounce]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' If a lion [[SRD:Charge|charges]] a foe, it can make a full attack, including two [[SRD:Rake|rake]] attacks.

'''[[SRD:Improved Grab|Improved Grab]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' To use this ability, a lion must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]] without provoking an [[SRD:Attacks of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]]. If it wins the [[SRD:Grapple|grapple check]], it establishes a hold and can [[SRD:Rake|rake]].

'''[[SRD:Rake|Rake]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Attack bonus +7 melee, damage 1d4+2.

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' Lions have a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Balance Skill|Balance]], [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]], and [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]] checks. *In areas of tall grass or heavy undergrowth, the [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] bonus improves to +12.
