The lion (Panthera leo) is one of the big cats in the Felidae family and a member of the genus Panthera. It has a muscular deep-chest short-necked body round head round ears and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. It is sexually dimorphic; males are larger than females with a typical weight range of 150 to 250 kg (330 to 550 lb) for the former and 120 to 182 kg (265 to 400 lb) for the latter.
Lions inhabit grasslands and savannas but can also be found in forested areas. While lions once roamed widely across Eurasia North Africa and much of Africa they have now been reduced to scattered populations in sub-Saharan Africa.
As of 2010 the wild lion population is estimated at between 20000 and 30000.
Lions are apex predators typically preying on ungulates such as deer antelope and buffalo. They are also known to eat smaller prey such as rodents hares and birds.
Lions are social animals and typically live in prides of related females and offspring. Males associate with prides only long enough to mate. Adult male lions are unusual among felids in that they do not participate in hunting; typically two or three males associate with a pride playing no role in raising cubs.
