How many people does the African lion kill a year?

African lions are responsible for a small number of human fatalities each year, typically ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred, depending on the region and circumstances. Most encounters occur in areas where humans and lions coexist, often due to livestock predation. Overall, while lions can pose a threat to humans, they do not account for a significant number of human deaths compared to other causes. Conservation efforts focus on mitigating conflicts between lions and local communities.
