The lion (Panthera leo), also known as the African lion, is one of the 5 big cats in the genus Panthera and a member of the family Felidae. Wild lions presently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia (where a threatened residue population lives in Gir Forest National Park in India) while various other kinds of lions have vanished from North Africa as well as Southwest Asia in historic times. Within Africa, the West African lion population is particularly endangered.

From this lion derived the later cave lion (Panthera leo spelaea), which showed up about 300,000 years back. Lions died out in north Eurasia at the end of the last glaciation, about 10,000 years earlier; this might have been secondary to the termination of Pleistocene megafauna.
