The lion, often called the "king of the jungle," is a majestic and powerful wild animal. Known for its distinctive mane (in males) and muscular build, it's a top predator in its habitat. Lions are social animals, living in groups called prides, which usually consist of related females, their cubs, and a few males. They are skilled hunters, often working together to bring down prey, and are known for their powerful roars. Lions primarily inhabit grasslands and open woodlands, but can also be found in zoos and other captive environments.
