[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]Henschel is now the lion survey project coordinator for [/color]Panthera[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)], a global wildcat conservation organization. Since last month’s discovery, his group, along with the [/color]Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology’s Pan Africa Programme[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)] and the [/color]Aspinall Foundation[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)], "have repeatedly captured clear video footage of a male lion walking down a forest path in Gabon’s Batéké Plateau National Park — an ecological wonder for more reasons than one."[/color]
"[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]Even more confounding is the ecosystem itself. The Batéké Plateau is ecologically isolated, surrounded by the Congo Basin’s extensive tropical rainforest — unlikely habitat for savannah-loving lions."[/color]
That lion is living in the "forest" or "tropical rainforest" not Savannah, it's spotted numerous times and it's one of many lions that once roamed there throughout time.
If you want to say it's not the "jungle" I'm not sure how you'd classify "jungle from rain forest"? But the same habitat that a tiger inhabits can and has been inhabitanted by a lion. W
How you want to classify it is up you, but tall green trees, hills and slopes, dense brush etc are both part of either ecosystem and lions have lived in every Prt of the Congo basin outside of 1/4 of it and many places they once lived absolutely have forest and/or jungle.

In regards to your "camouflage claim" a "jungle cat" "Puma" and "Asian golden cat" all inhabit terrain of rain forest/forest which of course is where a jungle is located. Reply
