Why are lions endangered?
Recently shocking research indicates that wild African lion populations are more endangered than we thought. "We're deeply disturbed about the lion-bone trade. Permits for l…ion bones have been issued and these bones are now being sold into the East. Lion bones are in such demand because they look so similar to tiger bones, which is a huge trade, but there are only 3200 tigers left in the world and that supply is drying up. The minute there's a healthy trade in animal parts, be it rhino horn or lion bones, these animals become more valuable dead than alive." "It's a cultural belief and all about the individual gaining so-called power through a wine made from tiger bones. Logging, slash-and-burn and the bushmeat trade are also killing wild lions, as well as safari hunting, which, genetically, takes out the best specimens, the males - and when one male is shot, between 12 and 20 lions are killed,because a new male comes in to take over the territory and kills all the cubs the dead male has sired. Often some of the females fight to the death to protect their cubs. " "If you imagine that there are 20000 to 30000 lions left, that implies there are only between 3500 and 5000 male lions and yet the US imports about 550 trophies a year. Another scourge we must be careful of is FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), which has infected 90% of Africa's lions. A good portion of the lions you and I may have seen in the Kruger National Park are affected with bovine TB, so we have a very vulnerable lion population here." .
Lion is not an endangered animal but is a vulnerable animal. Certain species of lions are considered endangered for eg: Asiatic lions. Generally lions fall under the conservative status of 'vulnerable'. Lions are endangered because people kill them for their lovely fur and body parts. the cougar is endangered mainly because during the turn of the 20th century they were hunted to near extinction as was their main food source in white tailed deer. they may be taken off the endangered list though soon. -------------------------------- African Lion Recently shocking research indicates that wild African lion populations are more endangered than we thought.

Why are Asian lions more endangered than African lions?
Many reasons. First, lions are bold hunters of open plains habitats, and during the British rule, many army officers hunted them for sport. Lions, living in prides, often had …many killed at one time by these ruthless hunters. Another reason may be a natural one. Lions once ranged over most of the Indian subcontinent. The tiger, a fairly recent migrant to Southern Asia from the north, may have been the containing factor. Lions slowly gave ground to this more active, larger predator. There was no large predator in Africa to prevent lions from penetrating to the Cape, and large areas of dry, barren land halted the expansion of the tiger, which requires more water and cover than the lion. Although no real signifigance can be drawn from the fact that, under artificial conditions in captivity, a tiger usually can defeat a lion, Singh noted that roaring of lions in zoos often attracted the wild resident tigers, and three released lions were almost certainly killed by them. In Iran and other countries, lions were considered vermin and man killers, and were hunted to extinction. Today, 350 Asiatic lions remain in India's Gir Forest, the last of a once widespread lion subspecies.
