Africa Wild Life :Kenya Maasai Lion

A male lion called Scarface in Kenya's Maasai Mara reserve. It is estimated that as many as 500,000 African lions roamed Africa at the turn of the century in 1900. 

Today the estimated range is between 20,000 to 30,000, and most of these are constrained to seven key strongholds: Zambia, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Mozambique. 

Recent data shows that Kenya holds an incredibly dense population in the Maasai Mara, and migrating wildebeest and zebra are the key reason for this. Big cat populations (including lions) are strongly predicted by the number of prey.

 Even though rates of mortality in lion populations are high and cub survival is about 50 percent in the first year of life, with a strong prey base lions will thrive. Africa has lot of tourist attraction.
