Why do lions live in dens?

Answer 1

Lairs

Answer 2

No. Lions live out on the African plains or forested areas where other animals roam, sleeping under trees or shrubs during the daytime and hunting at night. Hyenas are the ones that live in dens or caves, but not lions.

Answer 3

They don't, actually, unlike the stuff that Disney portrays, especially on The Lion King. Real-life lions live out on the African plains with the other animals, sleeping in the shade of a tree or some brush during the day and out on the plains hunting at night, though they'll hunt during the day as well. So why don't lions live in dens is because they will miss hunting opportunities if they live in dens during any time of the day (9 times out of 10 they are unsuccessful on a hunt).

Lions live in dens to seek shelter, protection from the elements, and to raise their young cubs in a safe environment. Dens also provide a place for lions to rest and hide from predators.
