The Book of Daniel says that Daniel was captured in the 3rd year of the reign of Jehoiakim. On this evidence, Daniel must have been in captivity 70 years by the time the Persians defeated the Babylonians. Daniel would probably have been in his late seventies or early eighties by the time the Book says that he was thrown in the lion's den.
However, the Book of Daniel says that the Persian king, who defeated the Babylonians and later attempted to sacrifice Daniel to the lions, was Darius. But historians say that Cyrus was the Persian king who defeated the Babylonians, and that Darius was a successor. If the author really intended to place this event during the actual reign of Darius, then Daniel would have been at least ninety and possibly more than 100 years old at the time.
The Bible doesn't say exactly, but if Daniel was in his teens when he was brought to Babylon in 617 BCE, he would be nearly 100 years old by the time he received the vision in Daniel 12:13 where the angel seems to indicate that Daniel is nearing his death.....most probably of old age.
The author of the Book of Daniel had saved Daniel for the passage about the lion's den, because to have Daniel too frequently subjected to attempts on his life, and miraculously saved, would have reduced the dramatic impact. Similarly, the three friends had fulfilled their role by escaping from the furnace and to later place them in the lion's den with Daniel would reduce the literary impact of Daniel's plight (Biblical scholars say that Danielwas a Jewish novel, written approximately 167 BCE).
Biblical scholars say that Daniel was an early Jewish novel, written approximately 167 BCE. It eventually became accepted as a genuine history of the Babylonian Exile, no doubt because of its strong theological content. Although the book gives Daniel an honoured place in Persian history, there is no mention of him in the history of Persia, and much of the book's interpretation of historical events is confused and contradicts what we know about the time. For the purposes of the novel, Daniel was indeed put in the lions' den, but this was not a historical event so nothing actually happened to Daniel.
Daniel did not die in the lions' den. God protected him from harm, and he emerged unscathed after spending the night among the lions.

Habakkuk did not bring food to Daniel in the lions' den. In the Bible, the story of Daniel in the lions' den is found in the Book of Daniel, where Daniel was thrown into the den and miraculously protected by God. Habakkuk was a prophet who lived around the same time as Daniel but was not directly involved in that event.
Daniel's prayer resulted in him being thrown into the den of lions because he continued to worship only God despite the decree issued by King Darius.
