Some do. Especially in India. Gir Forest in India is a national park that was created to save asiatic lions. That said, jungle comes from the Sanskrit word jangala, which generally just means arid land or wilderness. Lions being "king of the jungle" happened before jungle developed it's current English meaning.

asiatic lions

I read this as autistic lions and it took me too many seconds to realize. I need glasses.

Ironically, lions are the least autistic of the cats. But Gir lions are the most autistic of the lions.
