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. 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.
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. Lady Lioness

Lions live for
10–14 years in the wild, while in captivity they can live longer 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. 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. Lady Lioness Hunting A Lion For Mating [Wildlife Nature Documentary HD] attack, vs
