Lion on the Savanna

Wide open spaces fill this page as a male lion strides across the grassland, a flat-topped acacia tree behind him, a low sun and a few clouds in the sky, and tall grass tufts and a small hill in the distance. With so much scene to fill, this one is more than just an animal: it is a whole landscape, perfect for kids who love coloring backgrounds, skies, and far-off hills. The variety of shapes keeps it interesting, and the medium outlines suit elementary-age artists. The African savanna is the lion's true home, a sea of golden grass dotted with acacia trees where prides hunt at dawn and dusk and rest through the heat of the day. Try a glowing orange sun and a warm sky to capture that famous savanna feel. Print it on US Letter or A4 paper.
