There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

There actually are wild and unmixed Asiatic lions with black manes, but their names are too small to notice for their size.
Yeah, I guess these lions are escaped captive specimens, they can't just suddenly adapt to the icy mountain climate that are the Himalayas, without the natives regularly noticing them.
In some pictures, I've seen modern Asiatic lions grow thick manes without exposure to cold weather, but I don't know if they are mixed with African lions. Asiatic/Barbary lions of the past had bigger belly hair and manes than all other lions.
