Lion waiting for the Mother Buffalo not to be alert to steal the Baby Buffalo

Historically, lions would have been found throughout much of Africa and even in parts of Europe and Asia as well.

Today, however, they have been pushed into more isolated pockets of their once vast natural range with the remaining African Lion population now only found in countries in sub-Saharan Africa. There is also still a small population of Asiatic Lions found inhabiting a remote part of the Gir Forest in India.

Despite their dwindling numbers, lions are actually incredibly adaptable animals that can and will inhabit very dry climates as they get most of the moisture they need from their food.

They prefer areas of open woodland, scrub, and long grasslands where there is not only plenty of covers but also a wide variety of prey. They are only not found in areas of rainforest or far into deserts.
