Lions don't live in jungle so why are they called king of the jungle?

Answer 1

yeah, i agree i have been wondering about that question but i think that many stories think that the jungle is a better place to set the scene instead of the hot dry savannah. there are way more interesting animals in the jungle so they make use of these animals in their stories. so with the setting, they think "well, who is the king?" sot hey think and they think more... then they see the lion as a strong brave character so they say the lionis the king of the jungle! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That was an excellent answer. Great question too. I'm sure many people are wondering that themselves. The Lion became "King of the Jungle" because Lions live in Africa. Many people associate Africa with the Jungle (although Africa is not all Jungle and the are Jungles in many regions of the world) again many people associate Lions with Africa. So, you can see where this is going. Why not name Lions the king they are strong, look incredible and a sign of bravery. However, they are not the most dangerous animal in Africa. Hippo's cause much more deaths.
