Although a lion is referred to as the king of the jungle, interestingly he does not live in the jungle. They instead live in open grasslands - the savannas, rocky hills, and scrublands, but definitely not jungles.
So why is the lion called the king of the jungle, a title that has made it to global movie screens and a misleading one considering that the lion and his pride do not live in this natural habitat that is called a jungle?
