Aside from the fact that lions in Central and Northeast Africa form a different but related clade of lions to West African lions (see this), probably in the same way that Bengal tigers belong to a different but related clade to their relatives in other parts of mainland Asia (see this), defining a rainforest as a tropical forest that receives a continuous and high volume of rainfall per annum, apparently not, because West African lions live in fairly dry forests like those Pendjari (Benin) and Niokolo-Koba (Senegal), similar to their Asiatic cousins (which live in and around Gir Forest, which in the same ecoregion as the tiger-containing forests of Ranthambhore, Sariska and Kuno-Palpur, that is Kathiawar-Gir dry deciduous forests).

Two reccent camera trap photos of Lions in the Atakora zone. I have noticed that the newly released observations of lions in the WAP complex look scrawny.
