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 ?

Ex-situ conservation materials list 'study ... breeding and other habits' as an explicit objective, implying breeding timing is a documented trait of concern.

A student could look for captive-breeding records for lions (zoo birth dates) to see whether births cluster seasonally or occur through the year.

The snippet states migrations may be 'of temporary nature for breeding' tied to seasons, giving a general rule that many species have seasonal breeding linked to environmental cycles.

Use this rule to ask whether lions show seasonal movements or mating-related behaviours (e.g., mating aggregations) that would imply a defined season.

The spoon-billed sandpiper example shows some species require specialized, seasonally-limited breeding habitat—an example of breeding seasonality driven by habitat constraints.

Compare habitat-dependence: assess whether lion reproduction is tied to seasonal habitat/resource availability (prey, water) which could produce seasonal breeding.

Captive breeding is presented as a tool to 'boost numbers' and implies managed populations can be bred under controlled timing, suggesting breeding timing can be recorded and manipulated.

Investigate whether captive lion programs report timed breeding interventions or year-round successful mating to infer natural seasonality.

Reference to the Asiatic Lion being endemic to a specific landscape highlights geographic restriction; breeding seasonality can vary regionally.

Use basic geographic knowledge (climate differences between regions) to test whether Asiatic lions in Gir might show a different breeding pattern than African populations.
