CHE SIGNIFICA LION IN INGLESE
Leone
Il leone è uno dei quattro grandi gatti del genere Panthera e un membro della famiglia Felidae. Con alcuni maschi che superano i 250 kg in peso, è il secondo più grande gatto vivente dopo la tigre. I leoni selvaggi attualmente esistono nell'Africa subsahariana e in Asia, mentre altri tipi di leoni sono scomparsi dall'Africa settentrionale e dall'Asia sud-occidentale in tempi storici. Fino al tardo Pleistocene, circa 10.000 anni fa, il leone era il più diffuso grande mammifero della terra dopo gli esseri umani. Sono stati trovati in gran parte dell'Africa, attraverso l'Eurasia dall'Europa occidentale all'India, e nelle Americhe dal Yukon al Perù. Il leone è una specie vulnerabile, visto che nel corso della seconda metà del ventesimo secolo la popolazione africana ha subito un calo di 30-50%. Le popolazioni del leone sono insostenibili al di fuori delle riserve e ai parchi nazionali. Anche se la causa del declino non è pienamente capita, la perdita di habitat e conflitti con gli esseri umani sono attualmente le maggiori cause di preoccupazione. In Africa, la popolazione del leone dell'Africa occidentale è particolarmente in pericolo. I Lions vivono per 10-14 anni in selvaggina, mentre in cattività possono vivere più di 20 anni.
