Answer 1

Lions: they are in family groups and need to be to cooperate to bring down prey. The habitat is a disadvantage to a point- the prey can see them coming as well, so it may be harder to get food. They are extremely territorial and will attack any other non-related lion in their territory.
An interesting fact that I got from a chemical immoblization class(how to sedate an animal). If you come across a lion that is eating prey, you can shoot it with the dart, and it will walk two steps towards you, roar, and go back to the bait pile. They will never go farther than 2-3 steps from their food pile.

Answer 2

The vast majority of lions today inhabit the open African savanahs, with the exception of a small contingent of Asiatic lions living in the Gir Forest wildlife park of north-west India. As noted by your first answer, lions used to live throughout much of Europe's, Asia's, and the America's lands. It was thought to be the most widespread mammal on earth next to man, however, habitat loss and excessive hunting, has increasingly reduced the once-great lion numbers. Also, many lions live in captivity and zoos, where some subspecies, such as the Barbary lion, extinct from the wild, can still be found.

Answer 3

I don't know how the lion's habitat protects it, but I'm guessing you're wondering more along the lines of how does the shrinking habitat hurt the population? If that's the case, it's a simple matter of they have nowhere to live and start killing eachother over territory. Does that help answer your line of thought?
