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.

In next tables, I will separate them by countries, just to show the specific variations.

By the way, according with Dubach et al. (2013) and taking in count also the other genetic studies, the East African lions are a single subspecies with the Southern African lion (Panthera leo melanochaita), but represent a different clade, although the last studies show that this "difference" is not very clear, most probably because of human intervention rather than a natural "intermix".
