This egg appears to have tentacles that are similar to that of a sea anemone.
The Protea lion is closely related to the protea flower—Protea cynaroides. In fact, it is more plant than it even is lion! It is distinct in the Protea genus in that it has the largest flowering head. Proteas are also adapted to survive wildfires through its thick underground stem, which contains many dormant buds. These buds will produce the new growth after the fire.
Proteas are easily grown in poor, neutral to acidic soils in the full sun of the Grasslands. They require little watering and are relatively drought-tolerant once hatched, evolved, and established.
Like protea flowers that are pest- and disease-free, the Protea lion has no known natural predators.
