The text states The Lion King was originally going to be titled The King of the Jungle and informs that lions live in savannas instead of jungles.

The claim that 'The Lion King' was originally supposed to be called 'The King of the Jungle' seems to be a misconception often shared as trivia, but no reliable evidence supports this being an official working title. Web sources do not confirm this, and the evidence found focuses on other aspects of the film's development and franchise expansion, including upcoming releases. Therefore, the claim lacks substantial evidence. For the second claim, the assertion that lions live in savannas, not jungles, is a well-known biological fact, not requiring further verification.
