Lion siblings hanging out together.

Lion families endure. Females stay with the prides they’re born into for life, and males stay at least until late adolescence.

10,000 years ago, lions were the 2nd most common mammal after humans. By 1950, Africa had about 400,000 living in the wild. Today there are fewer than 50,000.
