Lions are found in the grasslands and savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa. They have a relatively broad range of habitat (excluding forests, rainforests, and arid deserts); they can habituate in any area with an availability of suitable prey, cover for stalking/hunting, water, and shade for sleeping during the hottest hours of the day.
They are very noisy birds and often gabble to each other like geese while feeding. The most important role of vocalization is to keep the flock together. They also perform honking, grunting and growling as adults, and chicks start cheeping several hours before they hatch.
