Fun History
Lions are known as the kings of the savanna and live in social groups called prides. Stories and emblems from ancient Mesopotamia to modern sports teams have celebrated lions as symbols of courage and royalty. Male lions possess impressive manes that signal strength and maturity, while females cooperate in hunting for the group. Despite their fearsome reputation, lions face threats from habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict, making conservation efforts critical for their survival. Lions once roamed across Africa, Asia and Europe but today are mainly found in sub-Saharan African reserves.
