Lion Games Online

Lions live throughout Africa from below the Sahara Desert to the start of South Africa, in prides normally consisting of three males, twelve females and their cubs. Whilst the female cubs stay with the pride throughout their lives, male young grow and leave the pride establishing their own, or taking over an existing pride following a successful fight with the established leader. Each pride defines a territory of around one hundred square miles where they prey as a pack on zebras, wildebeest and antelopes as well as other African wildlife.

Apart from African lions there is also a small population of Indian lions in the Gir Forest. It is believed only about 24,000 lions remain in Africa and, although there is no reliable estimate of their former numbers, it is likely that there were at least many hundreds of thousands before European settlers arrived.
