The lion, often referred to as the "king of the jungle," is Kenya's national animal. These majestic big cats are known for their strength, courage, and social structure, living in prides that typically consist of related females, their offspring, and a small number of adult males. Lions primarily inhabit savannas and grasslands, where they hunt large herbivores such as zebras and wildebeests. Conservation efforts in Kenya focus on protecting lion habitats and mitigating human-wildlife conflict, crucial for maintaining healthy lion populations.
