The lion is a vulnerable species. There has been a major population decline of its natural range of 30-50% every 20 years since the 1950s. In the wild, lions live 10-14 years. In captivity they can live longer than 20 years. In today's zoos, the lions are kept in a large compound or park. They have a constant supply of food and are attended by veternarians who specialize in lion health. Zoos offer the general public a chance to see animals up-close-and-personal that they would never have a chance to witness otherwise.
