lion habitat

Pride's territorial range

The natural environment where lions live and thrive.

Lions inhabit African savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands, with a small population in India's Gir Forest.

A lion habitat requires adequate prey, water sources, and territory for prides to establish themselves: The zoo designed an authentic lion habitat with rocky outcrops and tall grasses.
