How many years can a lion live?

The average life span of wild lions is ten years. The average life span of captive lions is 30 years.

In the wild, due to weather, environment, hunting, diseases, natural enemies and other factors, the life expectancy of lions is relatively low, with an average of ten years. Artificial farming does not have this factor, and the so-called life expectancy is longer, with an average of 30 years.

Among wild lions, lions have to grow up beside their mothers until they are 3-5 years old. As an adult, lions will be injured and die because of "fighting for territory" and "grabbing food". Bad weather will also hinder lions from hunting. Due to the change of weather, the habitat of lions will also affect the survival of lions. There are too many uncertainties in the wild, so the life span of wild lions is low.

The captive lions have comfortable environment and stable food, so they don't need to hunt, and the keepers will stop the similar hunting, so the captive lions have a long life.
