'Jungle' seems to epitomize or be evocative of wild nature, so I think in this case it is understood to be a succinct substitute for 'wild nature.'

I have a weird answer and maybe it is true.
When inside a territory, the Lion tends to be the Commanding officer. It has fought and gained the rights of controlling, defending and commanding everyone living inside its territory. This is how it is in the wild. This is how it is in the Jungle.
Now the true fact. While being the commanding officer, the lion seldom hunts for food. This is because it has got too many lionesses within the territory who can run, toil and kill for food.
Now once a kill is done, the lionesses or any of its cubs are not allowed to feed on the kill, until the Lion (commanding officer) has completed his share or portion of the kill. Its only after this that the lionesses and cubs have the left overs.
This behavior of the lion coupled with the thunderous roar, fearsome looks, raw power to guard the territory makes it worthy enough to be titled the king of the jungle.

Jungle is a referral to the wild... Lion is called the king of the jungle owing to his noble appearance and courage and also because he sits and eats like a king while the lionesses do most of the hunting.....

It does live in the jungle even now, but its habitat has been encroached by human predators. So, now we have notified wild life parks and of course zoos.
