Lions represent the pinnacle of the cat world. While these magnificent and revered creatures once roamed throughout the world, they are now found only in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, plus a small population of Asian lions in the Gir Forest of India. Male and female lions have a number of differences between them, including their physical characteristics, their role within the social structure and the path their lives take.
