African lions (Panthera leo leo) are found mainly in sub-Saharan Africa, while Asiatic lions (Panthera leo persica) are a subspecies limited to the Gir Forest in India. American lions (Panthera leo atrox), now extinct, roamed North America during the Pleistocene era. Mountain lions (Puma concolor), also known as cougars, are not true lions and are found throughout the Americas, while cave lions (Panthera leo spelaea), also extinct, lived in Europe and Asia during the Ice Age. White lions are not a separate species but rather a rare color mutation of the African lion, primarily found in South Africa.
