FAQ #1 – How old do Lions get?

This depends on the species of lion and where they live. Due to the tough life that lions lead in the wild, they life expectancy is between 12 and 14 years.
In captivity, lions can live up to 20 years because they lead quiet lives with regular feeding times. They are under constant medical observation and are well taken care of.
While life in the wild is much more dangerous and exhausting, due to the fact that lions have to constantly hunt for food and are prone to violent fights with other lions and animals.
Ukutula is a lion research center situated in South Africa. The game farm comprises 260 hectares of unspoilt bushveld boasting a variety of antelope species, giraffe and zebra.
Ukutula is also home to more than 130 different bird species.
