used from: http://www.lionlamb.us/lion/lionfact.html The range of the African lion is the south Sahara Desert. Their main pray is wildebeest, impala, zebra, giraffe, buffalo and wild hogs. The African lions are suffering from these threats: Loss of habitat to population growth and agricultural expansion as well as hunting and poisoning by livestock ranchers. Their Swahili name for lion is Simba. Young males around the ages of two and three are chased out of the pride to start their own. The land the pride usually covers 15 square miles.
