I just wrote and asked what type of lion he was until I saw this.
Very cool looking lion, the congo lion is quite unique.

Very nice lion, but now he is quite old...and he is rather small...150-160 Kg (???)

Before to have seen it, I would never believe that a lion could have such a mane...

Impressive, but when I see it, that makes me the same effect as to see a persian cat or a show cat in relation to a real cat (an alley cat). Something not natural.


RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 08-23-2016

climate in czech republic is quite cold...so perhaps this is the reason why the mane is so impressive

Yes quite cold, but I saw many photos and movies showing lions in Siberia, lions in the snow, no one lion was like this one.


RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 08-23-2016

so it was probably combination of cold climate and genetic disposition. Result: impressive mane

Zoo Prague is considered to be one of the best in the world. I dont know about any other zoo which has 3 tiger subspecies. On the other hand I dont like this zoo that much - too big, too many visitors. I prefer smaller zoos with more decent atmosphere...
