Trophy hunting is also a big problem, it claims more than 600 lions a year, most of them being males. So we use the lion’s natural habitat to build on. The more humans there are, the more homes and buildings we need. So why is the ‘King of the Jungle’ in danger of becoming extinct? One of the main reasons why lions are losing their habitat is because the human population is increasing. Today the lion population is between 20 000 – 30 000. Sixty years ago there were approximately 450 000 lions across Africa.

Custer is not particularly known for being stiff or having a petrified expression – suggest? May be a reference to statues of Custer? Army leader who fought in the Civil War and wars against Native Americans. “ General Custer” is a well-known U.S.“How they trained them big cats at the circuses” again refers to lions.The noise is perhaps the purring of a cat.“His big rough tongue lapped the whole saucer-full of cream” references a cat’s rough tongue.“Muzzle,” “hound,” and “bear” continue to describe a large animal.“The Sioux nation” are of course a Native American people.“Scared o’ me” and “big dumb animal” continue to describe the Cowardly Lion.Dorothy’s encounter here follows a similar trajectory. Dorothy confronts the lion, calling him “nothing but a big coward” to which the lion agrees and hangs his head in shame.
