Summary

Lions are one of the most respected animals in the animal kingdom. They are called the king of the jungle, they are used on the crests of royal houses, and the ancients made a lion one of the signs of the zodiac. They have been the subject of fables and some of the world’s most popular movies. But how did an animal that is today found in Sub-Saharan Africa manage to become a cultural reference for countries in Asia and Europe well before there was any regular contact between the regions? Learn more about lions, how they behave and their role in human history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
