SED: Number of returned lines

To a file jungle.txt with following text ...

A lion sleeps in the jungle
A lion sleeps tonight
A tiger awakens in the swamp
The parrot observes
Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh

... one could perform GREP search ...

$ grep lion jungle.txt

... or SED search ...

$ sed "/lion/p" jungle.txt

... to find occurences of a pattern ("lion" in this case).

Is there some easy way to get a number of returned lines? Or at least to know that there were more than 1 found? As always, I've googled a lot first, but surprisingly found no answer.

Thanks!
