Lions are found in the grasslands and savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa. They have a relatively broad range of habitat (excluding forests, rainforests, and arid deserts); they can habituate in any area with an availability of suitable prey, cover for stalking/hunting, water, and shade for sleeping during the hottest hours of the day.
