Lions

Lions are native to Africa. They use to be found in Africa, Europe, Asia and the Americas but are now found in Africa; south of the Sahara desert.

In the movies and Tv shows, the lions lived in The Pride Lands, and the Tree of Life as well as other regions of Africa, such as The Southern Pidelands, The Northern Pride Lands, The Eastern Pride lands. as this is before the mass hunting of Lions and other animals. They serve as monarchs in each of the Prides.

Physical characteristics
Physically, lions are a tawny golden color, and are the only cats whose sexes can be told apart at a distance. Males bear thick, shaggy manes of either blond, black, red, or brown, while lionesses are barren around the neck. Both sexes have a tail tuft, always black in color, though cubs are born without this tuft. Lion eyes are most commonly amber, but brown-eyed, green-eyed, red-eyed, and blue-eyed lions have been observed

Information
The lions in the film series look and behave markedly different from actual lions. The Pride Landers are the main group of lions featured throughout the franchise, though other prides such as the Outsiders, Southern Pridelanders, Northerners, and Eastern Pride Landers have been lightly touched upon.

The Pride Landers operate in a monarchy system, where the firstborn child of the current ruler serves as the crown prince or princess. This child is anointed, then presented before the animals of the kingdom in a ceremony that occurs at dawn. Sometime after, the ruler-to-be is assigned a lion or lioness whom they will marry upon reaching adulthood, though this tradition appears to have been broken with Kiara, as her older brothers were deceased or missing.

Though hyenas are their sworn enemies and portrayed as such in most material, lions have been known to conspire with them. Scar maintained a friendship with Shenzi's clan from adolescent to late adulthood, as well as his great-nephew Kion, who befriended a hyena, Jasiri and her clan

True to their species, lions have rival prides, as seen with the Outsiders and Pride Landers. Power can be stolen through usurpation, as seen with Scar.
