Two female lions, Lake Nakuru National Park, near Nakuru city, in Kenya, East Africa.

Two female lions, Lake Nakuru National Park, near Nakuru city, in Kenya, East Africa. The lion (Panthera leo) is a large cat native to Africa and India. A lion's pride contains a few adult males, related females, and cubs. Groups of female lions usually hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates, plus scavenge opportunistically. The IUCN Red List indicates lions as Vulnerable since 1996 because populations in Africa have declined by 43% since the early 1990s. Habitat loss and conflicts with humans are the greatest causes for concern. // Lake Nakuru National Park was established in 1961. UNESCO honors Lake Nakuru on the World Heritage List, as part of the "Kenya Lake System in the Great Rift Valley." Located next to Nakuru (population 600,000), the third largest urban area in Kenya, the park is fenced to block poachers and retain rare rhinos and giraffes.
