The lion (Panthera leo) is a predator from the feline family (Felidae). Of all the felines, only the tiger is bigger. The size and mane of the male give the animal an imposing appearance, making the lion known as the king of animals in many parts of the world. In Europe, the lion only took over this role from the brown bear during the Middle Ages.
The lion has often been the subject of folklore and symbolism. The lion is depicted in the coats of arms of several countries, regions and cities, including the Netherlands, Belgium and Sri Lanka.
The lion can still be found in certain parts of Africa and in a small part of India, but in the past it was also common in the Middle East and in South-Eastern Europe. Lions live in groups (they are the only feline that lives mainly in social groups) and lionesses usually hunt together, making them a bigger hunting partner than male lions.
