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.

Some Indian zoos director tried to do that, total failure, the engendered individuals were defect, flaw... Thus we can almost already say that African and Asiatic lions are two dictint species. Because that is that, the specy definition isn' t ? The reproduction ability between males and females within this same specy...



In fact is all the contrary. The Indian lion project in European Zoos was canceled because its members were Asiatic-African hybrids. Also there are many "mix" lions, clasify as "Barbary" but at the end are just a soup of genes from different areas. So Asiatic lions and African lions can reproduce perfectly, just like Indian/Amur tigers can reproduce with Sumatran tigers and produce interesting hybrids. Even worst, these African/Asian lion hybrids can reproduce perfectly and that is why many captive lion populations are wortless for conservation; ligers (males at least) can't reproduce as they born sterile.
