They have a distinctive mane that sets them apart from other big cats, and their powerful roars can be heard from miles away. Lions are the only big cats that live in social groups called prides.
Where They Live: Lions primarily live in the savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands of Africa. There is also a small population of Asiatic lions that reside in the Gir Forest of India.

Home Life and Social: Lions live in prides that usually consist of several related females, their cubs, and a few adult males. The pride works together to protect each other and raise the young. The lionesses do most of the hunting and share the food with the pride.
Friendships: Lions have strong social bonds within their pride. They show affection by grooming each other, rubbing heads, and playing together. These interactions help strengthen the relationships within the pride.
