Details for Lion

• Lion

  The Lion (Panthera leo) is a large carnivorous feline native to Africa and a small, critically endangered population in India. Often called the 'king of the jungle' (though primarily found in grasslands and savannas), lions are iconic for their majestic manes (males) and powerful roar. They are the only truly social cats, living in prides that typically consist of related females, their cubs, and a few adult males. Lions are apex predators, hunting large ungulates like zebra, wildebeest, and buffalo. They are considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict.
