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.

Many people often mixed them up with the Barbary lions.
Yeah I think Ive seen that, captive Asiatic lions with huge thick manes, not sure why though many wild Asiatic lions don't have the full mane. I also am not sure why the Barbary lion would be larger or perhaps thicker than other African lions. Many African lions are as thick and powerful as a lion comes, perhaps there are some subspecies that are thinner maybe for the topography they have to get across, it being longer flatter hotter weather, as opposed to say more of a forest like terrain of the Morocco mountains or Indian woods.
