    The African lion naturally lives in open woodlands, scrubs, and grasslands across sub-Saharan Africa. As apex predators, they hunt in prides and have a diet consisting of gazelles, zebras, wildebeests, and buffalos. Though vulnerable in the wild with lifespans of 10-16 years, they can live up to 25-30 years in captivity where they are fed meats like beef, sheep, and horse.
