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.

Are you saying that based on actual genetic data? ...otherwise it's just speculation. Barbary lion's natural distribution extended fron Morocco to Sinai along coastal North Africa with sporadic presence in parts of northern Sahara as those areas got desertfied in last 5000 years.

We have tigers living in similar distances at semi-arid Rajasthan, snowy Bhutan & subtropical rainforest of NE India, all of the same subspecies, albeit with minor local variations.
On the other hand, climate or vegetation of the Sahara adjoining Red Sea & Mediterranean sea are very very similar, except for the thin strip on Nile's banks. Northwestern Libya has some costal areas with Mediterranean type vegetation, the rest of their habitat in Libya & Egypt were all same deserts.
