A circus lion is like a giant, super fluffy cat! A lion has a big, furry head called a mane. It looks like a brown, fuzzy hug around his face! He has a long tail with a little tuft of hair at the end. He is golden yellow, and he is very, very strong.

In the circus, you might see a lion do amazing tricks! A brave trainer works with the lion. The lion might jump through a big, fiery hoop, sit on a tall stool and roar loudly, balance on a big, colorful ball.

A long, long time ago, lions in the circus didn't always have the happiest life. They lived in cages and were taken away from their homes in the wild.

Now, we understand that lions are wild animals. They love to run, play, and be with other lions in big, open spaces.

Most modern circuses don't have real lions or tigers anymore. Instead, they have amazing acrobats and clowns who do incredible tricks for us!

The best place for a lion is always in the wild or a safe sanctuary, where he can be happy and free. In today's drawing tutorial, we will learn how to draw a circus lion. He looks like he really enjoys his job and is looking forward to his next performance!
