Quote:2.Almost all Asiatic lions have serious injury marks on their faces.

That's a given for every lion. A lion that has no facial markings is most likely a male that is not dominant over a territory and prides. Facial scarring comes more from intra-group fights, with coalition brothers and with lionesess than from fights with rival males.
