The lion is often referred to as the King of the Jungle due to its majestic appearance, strength, and position as a top predator. Despite the name, lions typically inhabit savannas and grasslands rather than jungles. These social animals live in groups called prides, which consist of related females, their offspring, and a small number of adult males. Lions play a crucial role in their ecosystem by maintaining the balance of other animal populations. They symbolize power, courage, and nobility in various cultures around the world.
