Consider the following statements: 1. Lions do not have a particular breeding season. 2. Unlike most other big cats, cheetahs do not roar. 3. Unlike male lions, male leopards do not proclaim their territory by scent marking. Which of the statements given above are correct?

Options

1. 1 and 2 only
2. 2 and 3 only
3. 1 and 3 only
4. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer

1 and 2 only

Lions breed throughout the year, and cheetahs cannot roar due to their unique vocal structure. Leopards, however, do mark territory using scent, so statement 3 is incorrect.
