The lion (
Panthera leo) is one of the five big cats in the genus
Panthera and a member of the family
Felidae. The commonly used term
African lion collectively denotes the several subspecies found in
Africa. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight,[4] it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger.
Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in
Asia (where an endangered remnant population resides in
Gir Forest National Park in
India) while other types of lions have disappeared from
North Africa and Southwest Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene, about
10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans. They were found in most of Africa, across
Eurasia from western
Europe to India, and in the
Americas from the
Yukon to
Peru.[5] The lion is
a vulnerable species, having seen a major population decline in its African range of 30–50% per two decades during the second half of the
20th century.[2]
Lion populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not fully understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern.
Within Africa, the
West African lion population is particularly endangered.
Lions live for
10–14 years in the wild, although in captivity they can live more than 20 years
. In the wild, males seldom live longer than 10 years, as injuries sustained from continual fighting with rival males greatly reduce their longevity.[6] They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and a small number of adult males. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. Lions are apex and keystone predators, although they are also expert scavengers obtaining over 50 percent of their food by scavenging as opportunity allows. While lions do not typically hunt humans, some have been known to do so.
Sleeping mainly during the day, lions are primarily nocturnal, although bordering on crepuscular in nature.[7][8]
Highly distinctive, the male lion is easily recognised by its mane, and its face is one of the most widely recognised animal symbols in human culture. Depictions have existed from the
Upper Paleolithic period, with carvings and paintings from the
Lascaux and Chauvet
Caves, through virtually all ancient and medieval cultures where they once occurred. It has been extensively depicted in sculptures, in paintings, on national flags, and in contemporary films and literature. Lions have been kept in menageries since the time of the
Roman Empire, and have been a key species sought for exhibition in zoos over the world since the late eighteenth century. Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies.

Rhinoceros /raɪˈnɒsərəs/, often abbreviated as rhino, is a group of five extant species of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae.
Two of these species are native to Africa and three to
Southern Asia.
Members of the rhinoceros family are characterized by their large size (they are some of the largest remaining megafauna, with all of the species able to reach one tonne or more in weight); as well as by an herbivorous diet; a thick protective skin, 1.5–
5 cm thick, formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure; relatively small brains for mammals this size (400–600 g); and a large horn. They generally eat leafy material, although their ability to ferment food in their hindgut allows them to subsist on more fibrous plant matter, if necessary. Unlike other perissodactyls, the two African species of rhinoceros lack teeth at the front of their mouths, relying instead on their lips to pluck food.[1]
