The term "King of the Jungle" is often used to refer to the lion (Panthera leo). Despite this title, lions actually inhabit savannas and grasslands rather than jungles. Lions are known for their social behavior, typically living in groups called prides. Males are distinguished by their impressive manes and play a crucial role in protecting the pride. The lion's strength, hunting capabilities, and leadership within the pride contribute to its regal reputation, making it a symbol of power and majesty among wildlife.
