Best Answer

About 10 to 14 years.
Lions live for ten to fourteen years in the wild, while in captivity they can live longer than twenty years. In the wild, males seldom live longer than ten years, as injuries sustained from continual fighting with rival males greatly reduce their longevity. Females on the other hand dont fight with one another and hence live longer than the Males.
