   Most, but as a rule you will only find them in the national parks and game reserves, as they aren’t tolerated by farmers.
   Kenya probably has the most, but also Tanzania, Namibia, Zambia, South Africa, Botswana and Uganda. They are scarcer in West Africa.

   Distribution and habitat
   In Africa, lions can be found in savanna grasslands with scattered Acacia trees which serve as shade;[113] their habitat in India is a mixture of dry savanna forest and very dry deciduous scrub forest.[114] In relatively recent times the habitat of lions spanned the southern parts of Eurasia, ranging from Greece to India, and most of Africa except the central rainforest-zone and the Sahara desert. Herodotus reported that lions had been common in Greece around 480 BC; they attacked the baggage camels of the Persian king Xerxes on his march through the country. Aristotle considered them rare by 300 BC and by 100 AD extirpated.[115] A population of the Asiatic Lion survived until the tenth century in the Caucasus, their last European outpost.[116]
   The species was eradicated from Palestine by the Middle Ages and from most of the rest of Asia after the arrival of readily available firearms in the eighteenth century. Between the late nineteenth and early twentieth century they became extinct in North Africa and the Middle East. By the late nineteenth century the lion had disappeared from Turkey and most of northern India,[19][117] while the last sighting of a live Asiatic lion in Iran was in 1941 (between Shiraz and Jahrom, Fars province), though the corpse of a lioness was found on the banks of Karun river, Kh?zest?n Province in 1944. There are no subsequent reliable reports from Iran.[73] The subspecies now survives only in and around the Gir Forest of northwestern India.[23] About 300 lions live in a 1,412 km² (558 square miles) sanctuary in the state of Gujarat, which covers most of the forest. Their numbers are slowly increasing.[118]
   Until the late Pleistocene (about 10,000 years ago), the lion was the most widespread land mammal aside from man. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India and the Bering land bridge, and in the Americas from Yukon to Peru.[30] Parts of this range were occupied by subspecies that are extinct today.
   hope that helps!

   lions used to live throughout africa
   but it is/was considered “manly” to shoot them with laser telescopic high powered rifles (good old teddy roosevelt our hero)
   now they survive in significant numbers only in “reserves”
