Lions are called the king of the jungle and king of the cats. They don't actually live in the jungle, but it's still a good title to hold. Lions are actually the second largest cat and can weigh over 550 pounds. That's a lot more than the healthy human weighs.
10,000 years ago, they were the second most widespread land mammal. They were all over Africa, and took up the space from Europe to India. They used to live in north africa and southwest Asia which are now deserted areas for lions.
Lions now live in sub saharan africa, which is located just below the sahara desert, and all across Asia. They usually live in Savannas and grasslands. Sometimes they occupy forests.
30-50% of the lion population has been lost in the last two decades. The drop is from habitat destruction and poaching. Out of the african lion species, the west african lion is the worst off.
In the wild, lions live for 10-14 years. In captivity, however, they live over 20 years (on average). This is not always the case with animals. There are many cases where animals live longer in the wild than in captivity. Some animals just need to be free.
Lions are very social for cats. The females hunt in groups. The men stay behind and watch the kids. Lions are practically nocturnal- they sleep mainly during the day.
Ungulates are popular among lions. They're kind of like donkeys. They also eat zebras, wildebeest, antelope, and warthogs.
Lions are very popular. Their face is one of the most recognized animal features of all. Also some very old drawing have been found of them. Like, cavemen old. Lions have been in films, books, and art for a very long time, and have been a must-have in zoos since the early 18th century.
The asiatic lion is also called the indian lion. This is because it lives in India. They are endangered, but the population is increasing. In 1974 there were 180. In 2010 there were 411. They have a larger tail and a smaller mane than the african lion. They are also called asian lions because India is in Asia.
The white lion is a rare coloring of the kruger lion. They live in south africa and in zoos. There are so many in zoos because when they were discovered people thought that they could not defend themselves very well. Actually, their color has no disadvantage. They do not have any problems with humans.
The masai lion is a type of african lion. A male is 8.2 to 9.8 feet long and is 320 to 450 pounds. A female is 7.5 to 8.5 feet long and 220 to 360 pounds. They are also called the east african lion, because they live in the eastern part of Africa. There is also a west african lion. West african lions are basically asiatic lions other than the two exceptions mentioned before in the asiatic lion panel.
The katanga lion is also called the southwest african lion. It is another type of africa lion. The mane of the male katanga lion, however, is lighter than the manes usually are. The population is, unfortunately, 29.
