Lion

The Lion is a members-only land animal. They were formerly sold at the Diamond Shop. Lions are now currently endangered in Jamaa, however those who had purchased one already can still play with them and create new ones. Not many Jammers have a lion.

They were released to support the "Save The Big Cats" campaign, originally via membership card. They were also promoted into the Diamond Shop, but they became endangered.

As of March 5th, 2015, the lions will soon be returning to Jamaa.

Appearance
The Lion has brown fur, and a pale tan chin. They have shiny white fangs with an under bite, a pink triangular nose, and a dark purple mane and tail tuft. Their eyes are dark-grey, with beige paws.

Trivia

 * Members who purchased this animal via membership card, will get a 'special' type with an name unavailable to lions you can purchase with diamonds. The name will be 'King of the Jungle', which is a real life Lion's nickname.
 * Lions were the first animal to come in a membership card.
 * They are currently the biggest animal from the cat family in Jamaa.
 * There is only a male-version of the lion, however a female lion was seen on an Animal Jam coloring page alongside a lion cub.
 * Many items seem to glitch through the lion's mane, primarily neck items and head items. This is most likely due to the fact that the lion has no visible neck, and the mane gets in the way.
 * They have a pet counterpart, the Pet Lion.
 * Jammers often use a tiger as a female lion, coloring it so it matches lion colors.
 * Lions have what is thought to be the largest sprite for a Spiked Collar.
 * It was said that in the last page of the new Jamaa Journal on March 5th 2015 that lions are coming back.
