Correct Answer:  Africa

The given picture is of ‘lion’. 

Native to Africa and India, the lion is a large cat in the genus Panthera. Its physique is broad-chested and strong, and it has round ears, a small, rounded head, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail.

The lion lives in shrubland, savannas, and grasslands. Although it is typically more nocturnal than other wild cats, when threatened, it learns to become active at night and during the twilight hours. Due to a 43% reduction in population in African nations since the early 1990s, it has been classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1996. In regions that are not classified as protected, lion populations are unsustainable. The major causes for worry are habitat loss and confrontations with humans, despite the fact that the reason for the decline is not entirely understood.

Today, lions are only found in Africa and western India. In fact, Africa has the world’s largest number of lions. This is due to various good conservation programmes undertaken by the continent. Africa is home to numerous sizable lion populations that are well-managed protected areas. Cash revenue for park management and local communities is a powerful incentive for lion conservation in areas where an infrastructure for wildlife tourism has been established. Today, East and Southern Africa are where most lions are found.
