Answer 2

During historic times the habitat of lions spanned the southern parts of Eurasia, ranging from Portugal to India, and most of Africa except the central rainforest-zone and the Sahara desert. Around the beginning of the current era, they died out from Western Europe, and they had become extinct in Greece by AD 100. In the Caucasus, their last European outpost, lions were found until the 10th century. Between the late 19th and early 20th century they also became extinct from North Africa and the Middle East. Now, most of the population lives in eastern and southern Africa, and their numbers are rapidly decreasing, estimated as between 16,000 and 30,000 living in the wild, down from an estimated 100,000 in the early 1990s. The population is even more in jeopardy because the remaining populations are often geographically isolated from each other, which causes inbreeding.


The Gir Forest in the State of Gujarat, India is the last natural habitat of the 300-odd wild Asiatic Lions. Plans are afoot to re-introduce some to Palpur-Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary in the neighboring State of Madhya Pradesh in India.The Asiatic Lion (Panthera leo persica), which in historical times ranged from Turkey to India through Iran (Persia) and from the Caucasus to Yemen, was eradicated from Palestine by the Middle Ages and from most of the rest of Asia after the arrival of readily available firearms in the 18th century. In Iran the last lion was shot in 1942. The subspecies now survives only in and around the Gir Forest of northwestern India. About 300 lions live in a 1412 km² (558 square miles) sanctuary in the state of Gujarat, which covers most of the forest. Their numbers remain stable.

The most famous of these prehistoric subspecies were the Cave Lion (Panthera leo spelaea) and the American Lion (Panthera leo atrox) (not to be confused with the Cougar, which is also known as the Mountain Lion).

Answer 3

Mostly in zoos, but depending on what you call a lion, on every continent - like mountain lions in North America - but the ones most people think of with the big furry mane are restricted to central Africa.

Answer 4

Lions are found in Africa and also in India. The Asiatic lion is a subspecies of the African lion and it once roamed from Turkey to India. It is now endangered with only a few hundred left in the wild. It is the national emblem of India.
