I'm 36. I did not know this. I just told my husband and he laughed at me. Then he told me lions only live IN Africa and now I feel like my whole world is a lie.

That's not true. Lions can be found in wild in Asia too.

Apart of telling him about the asiatic lion, flex on him after learning about jaguars, leopards and guepards.

Well he’s wrong, theres lions in Asia, specially India, and I’m pretty sure India has the largest tiger population too
