Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Where do lions live? Lions live in a variety of habitats but prefer grassland, savanna, dense scrub, and open woodland. Historically, they lived across much of Europe, Asia, and Africa, but now they are mainly found in parts of Africa south of the Sahara.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nearly all wild lions live in Africa, but one small population exists elsewhere. In the wild, there are two formally recognised lion subspecies. The African lion (Panthera leo leo) is found in Africa, south of the Sahara desert.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prime habitat for lions is open woodlands, thick grassland, and brush habitat where there is enough cover for hunting and denning. These areas of grassland habitat also provide food for the herbivores lions prey upon. Lions usually hunt at night, particularly at dusk and dawn, with lionesses doing most of the work.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lions are found in Africa in various habitats including woodlands, deserts, plains, and savannas. However, while lions are occasionally found in deserts and woodlands, they prefer to live in savannas and grassy plains.
