No. Lions live out on the African plains or forested areas where other animals roam, sleeping under trees or shrubs during the daytime and hunting at night. Hyenas are the ones that live in dens or caves, but not lions.

They don't, actually, unlike the stuff that Disney portrays, especially on The Lion King. Real-life lions live out on the African plains with the other animals, sleeping in the shade of a tree or some brush during the day and out on the plains hunting at night, though they'll hunt during the day as well. So why don't lions live in dens is because they will miss hunting opportunities if they live in dens during any time of the day (9 times out of 10 they are unsuccessful on a hunt).

No, lions prefer to live in the open savanna. Only a female about to give birth or with new born cubs will find a sheltered area to keep her cubs safe.
