Zawadi the lion, king of the African savannah

African lions are apex predators once widespread across Africa, Europe, and Asia, now limited to sub-Saharan Africa. Known for their social structure, lions live in prides with females primarily hunting. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by controlling herbivore populations. However, their numbers have halved due to trophy hunting and habitat loss, posing significant conservation challenges.
