Why ???

Well it holds all qualities, braveness, active and commanding!

Because he is the king of the jungle. Elephants are gentle animals, not the lions. Kings have to be gentle as well as harsh. Why is simba living in Jungle funny? All living creatures have a family. We are too social animals.

Because the lion runs faster?

This is a silly question but it's just funny for me not to response to this. Lions have always been the king of the jungle because they are the strong and fierce. Humans have studied this and it actually happens in real life in jungles. Lions can actually kill an elephant no matter how big it is. Elephant can be king too with their own kingdom. Well elephants are sacred in India and in Thailand so I suppose they are treated quite well there and maybe living like a king. So there you have it, I hope that answer your question.

Hello, let me try to answer this, Haha... Lion are fierce strong animal and they are fast and wise. Whereas, Elephant tho big they are, but not that fast compare to lion. Besides their brain if I am not mistaken are smaller the opposite to their size which just speaks that they could not be as wise as lions are. hehe, nice question, like having some breaks or commercial. Happy mylotting

Probably because the lion looks cooler...lol...And an elephant is too tender to be a king of animal.
