El león (Panthera leo) es un mamífero carnívoro de la familia de los Félidos, y es uno de los cuatro felinos pertenecientes al género Panthera. El macho adulto es fácilmente reconocible por su gran tamaño y llamativa melena, y tiene un peso aproximado de 150 - 250 kg. Las hembras suelen ser considerablemente más pequeñas, con 110 - 180 kg de peso. Es el segundo felino más grande del mundo, después del tigre. La esperanza de vida en los ejemplares salvajes es: 12 años para los machos y 16 para las hembras, mientras que en cautiverio frecuentemente se encuentran ejemplares con más de 20 años. En la antigüedad, el león se podía encontrar en gran parte de África, Asia y Europa, pero actualmente sólo se les puede encontrar en varias partes de África y en la India. Estos felinos prefieren habitar en lugares cálidos.

El león masculino, reconocido por su melena, tiene un rango de peso de entre 145 y 251 kg, mientras que las hembras, de menor tamaño, tienen un peso de 110 - 181 kg, con un peso medio de alrededor de 140 kg en las leonas del Masai. El peso del león es muy variable, dependiendo de la subespecie; un ejemplo de esto son los leones machos Sudafricanos, que pueden pesar hasta 251 kg, mientras que los leones de Asia rara vez superan los 190 kg, incluso existe una población de leones del Masai en la que los machos rara vez superan los 170 kg de peso.
