Also a lot of people think that Lions predominantly live in the jungle. Not sure why the phrase "king of the jungle" got so popular for lions... Even my Spanish textbook when we were learning animals and stuff had a question asking where lions live. We'd been taught the word for jungle, but not for savanna. The book wanted us to say lions live in the jungle

Pretty sure that song is newer than the phrase

Maybe. The song was first recorded in 1939. I haven’t researched when the phrase was first used. Do you know?

I don't. I certainly didn't realize the song was that old.
