Quick! Which animal is considered to be "King of the Jungle"?
If you answered "Lion," of course you are right.* But this piece of common knowledge is wrong, and do you know why? Because lions don't actually live in the jungle!
In the wild, lions actually live on the Savannah, in the sub-Saharan region of Africa and in Asia.* Definitely not the jungle.
Where this myth got started I am not sure, but if you believed it, don't feel too bad. There are plenty of other people who believe it too.* But the good news is, now you know the truth…and you get to laugh in their faces!
