The lion (Panthera leo) is a predator of the family of felines (Felidae). Of all felines only the tiger is bigger. The size and mane of the male give the animal an impressive appearance, making the lion known in large parts of the world as the king of animals. In Europe he only took over this role from the brown bear in the course of the Middle Ages.
The lion has often been the subject of folklore and symbolism. For example, 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 it used to be common in the Middle East and in south-eastern Europe. Lions live in groups (the only feline that lives mainly in social groups) and lionesses usually go hunting together, which gives them a bigger share in the hunt than the male lions.
