Why are the eyes of a lion set in the front of its head rather then the sides?
It's a lion, not a lizard. The reason that the lion's eyes are on the front of its head is because it is a predator and not the prey. So it does not need to watch out for predators coming to attack it in the way a lizard does. Having eyes on the side of its head would help it to see more things, but having both eyes in the front of its head helps it to judge distances (depth perception).

What groups of animals do they belong to if they have eyes on the front of the head?
Preditors. Their eyes are on the front of the head because that's where they need them to stalk and bring down their prey. A prey animal has eyes more on the side so they have better sight behind them as well as what is ahead of them. Think of a lion crouched in the tall grass ready to chase a zebra down. He is looking straight ahead, waiting for the right moment. Then think of the zebra. With his eyes on the side of his head he doesn't have to keep turning around to see what's behind him. Its hard to sneak up on him.
