-The lion is very observant in its habitat and cannot be easily startled.  It is therefore only '''surprised on a 1 in 6.'''
+Lions attack with their claws twice, and their fangs once.  They prefer to apply all three attacks to one defender.  If the lion strikes with both its forepaws, the cat gets two additional attacks — '''raking''' with its rear claws, without needing an attack die, causing 4-16 damage.

-Lions are muscular, varying in colour from light buff to silvery grey, yellowish red and dark brown.  Rarely, lions can be white, though this is not a sign of being albino.  It is the only member of the cat family that displays obvious sexual differences between male and female.  The male lion's mane is the most recognisable feature of the species, which the female does not possess.  Lions spend much of their time resting; they are inactive for about 20 hours a day.  Their activity generally peaks after dusk with a period of socialising, grooming and intermittent bursts of activity that last until dawn, when hunting most often takes place.

 '''Lions''' are felines, among the largest of their species.  They possess a much wider range in the 17th century than they do in the present, dwelling throughout open grasslands north of  Persia and the Caucasus, spanning the Middle East and throughout Africa; they dislike dense forests, however.  Their preferred prey are hoofed mammals.
