Trivia[]

Players who purchased this animal via the membership gift card received a 'special' type with the name "King of the Jungle", which is the real-life lion's nickname. This name is not available for Lions purchased with Diamonds. Special names were also given to the animals received from the Snow Leopard and Arctic Wolf gift cards.
Lions were the first animal to come to Jamaa via a membership gift card.
They are currently the biggest animal from the cat family in Jamaa, though in real life, the tiger is the biggest.
There is only a male version of the lion, however, a female lioness was seen in an Animal Jam coloring page alongside a lion cub.
Many items seem to glitch through the Lion’s mane, primarily neck items and head items. This is most likely due to the fact that the lion has no visible neck, and that the mane gets in the way.
They have a pet counterpart, the Pet Lion, which can be bought in the Diamond Shop for 3 Diamonds.
Lions have what is thought to be the largest sprite for the Spiked Collar as well as the Studded Collar.
They have their own short called "Lion Flat".
They have an animal passage, which only rewards the Slingshot, in The Phantom Portal.
