can't be that hard to kill ...Wikipedia says that they are now threatened
thats cause lions and people generally cant share the same territory cause lions have a nasty habit of eating livestock and people.....while leopards will also become man eaters at times its much less common and they are alot like our coyotes in that they can live within a city, hell every city south of the Sahara likely has leopards living in it....lions need true wild country preferably well removed from people and thats getting rarer and rarer in todays Africa...
there are also a couple diseases playing havoc on lions in true wild country which isnt helping....
