The animal known as "the king of the jungle" is the lion. This title reflects the lion's reputation as a powerful and dominant predator within its habitat, which is predominantly savanna and grassland rather than dense jungle. Lions are social animals that live in prides, led by a dominant male who generally engages in protecting the pride's territory. Their physical strength, majestic mane, and vocal roars contribute to their royal image in various cultures and literature. While they are often associated with courage and nobility, lions face significant threats due to habitat loss and poaching.
