African lion
Pride's male leader
The African lion is the large wild cat native to sub-Saharan Africa, distinguished by the male's mane.
It is the species most people picture when they hear "lion"—the one in safari photos, zoo exhibits, and as the "king of beasts" in Western culture.
We spotted an African lion pride on the Serengeti.
