Ever since childhood, we have been taught that Lion is the king of the jungle. But have you ever wondered why the lion is the king of the jungle? If you think of it, he is not the biggest animal in the jungle. It is the elephant that is the biggest animal in the jungle. The lion is not even the fastest animal in the jungle because a cheetah is the fastest animal. So what makes the lion the king of the jungle if he isn’t the fastest nor the biggest animal?

The most powerful people or rulers of a country are referred to as kings. Perhaps this is why the lion is regarded as king: it has complete authority over the territory it lives on, as well as all of the other animals that reside there. The lion is known for his bravery.
