Question
what is the domian of a lion

Answer
Dear Anthony,

Although this sounds like a homework question, I'll give you some hints.  There are three domains used to classify living things.  The first is Archaea, which includes only the very primitive, unicellular organisms known as Archaebacteria, or archaeans.  The second is Bacteria, which includes only the true bacteria.  The third is Eukarya, which includes protists, plants, fungi, and animals.

That should help you figure out the answer to your question.
