The lion's most distinctive characteristic is its roar. It bones have an elastic part allowing the larynx to drop further down. When he roars, the air has a longer cavity to vibrate in and produces a rich deep sound.
An egg of a house cat developing and maturing inside an ovary. Durning mating sessions, the female releases a specific hormone which triggers the eggs in her ovaries to begin maturing. She needs to mate at lease four times before the concentration in her eggs is high enough for her eggs to fully develop.
A deformed lion sperm with 4 heads. There are some problems that occur with the feline's sperm. In a house cat's sperm, a fifth of all sperm are not viable and in lions almost half the sperm are deformed. Some sperm are incapable of swimming and may have multiple heads or two tails.
In cats the male sperm must break through the female's inner lining. This lining is made of a wall of thick mucus and protected by an army of white blood cells primed to destroy any foreign matter entering the female. Only 1 percent of the sperm will break through the inner lining and succeed in fertilizing an egg.

A lion fetus is starting to develop features that will give it the strength and power it will need to bring down prey more than five times its own weight. But the features that differ most dramatically are less easy to see, the lion's fearsome arsenal of weapons and perhaps its most distinctive characteristic - its roar.
