The A to Z list
Animals that start with L
L is a small page with a large animal on it. The lion is the only cat in the world that lives in a group, and that one fact explains most of the rest. Cooperative hunting, shared territory, and cubs nursed by several females rather than only their mother all follow from it. The leopard is here too, and the ladybug, whose spots indicate its species and never its age.
3 animals in the library start with L, from the ladybug to the lion. Most of them live in Africa and Asia.
