Lions are unique among cats for their social structure, living in groups called prides consisting of related females, their offspring, and a coalition of males. Females do most of the hunting, working cooperatively to bring down prey ranging from zebras to buffalo. Despite their fearsome reputation, African lion populations have declined dramatically over the past century due to habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and reduced prey availability.

The obverse of the 2025 Proof Congo World’s Wildlife Gold The Lion Coin features the front-facing image of a young lion cub.
