There are over one thousand of this ambassador species currently being held in captivity.
The IUCN rates the status of this species as 'Vulnerable'.
The latest estimates are between 35000 to 45000 lions in Africa, and the species is in decline. Much needs to be done to protect Africa's symbol of majesty.
The typical lion's terrain is the African Savannah. Many lions are kept in captivity though and their terrain is the grassland environment of a zoo.
White lions either sleep in a cage in captivity, or if it's one of the few wild ones, out in the African savannah.

No. Barbary Coast lions are extinct in the wild. Only a few remain in captivity. They are smaller, with bigger manes, and darker fur.
There are plenty of White lions in captivity, and a small but viable wild population.
* there are no barbary lions left in the wild the last one was shot in 1922 . * :( * but there are around 140 in captivity.
They are extinct in the wild there are only about 100-400 in captivity
Hard to say in the wild they live about 10 years (the fights with other lions take a toll on their bodies). However in captivity they can live more than 20 years.
