Pretty cool pics of the Asiatic lions, are you getting those shots in person, I'm wondering if you notice any differences in their anatomy compared to the African lions, or are they just smaller?


The pic of the Barbary is pretty cool to, do you have the link on there showing its an actual Barbary?

Thank You! Some of these photos are made by me and I have seen most of those lions in persona. I dont think that asiatic lions are smaller, I think they are more stocky. Interesting is that all asiatic lions look the same, while there are differences between african lions (size, body construction, mane). 

That page doesnt say that its a barbary lion, but that zoo always had barbary lions....and they have barbary lions even now.

Really, I thought the African lions were more thicker or stocky?  Maybe it depends on the breed, Ive seen some pretty stout lions at some places, most of the tigers though seem bigger, or at least a lot longer.  What do you think of the Barbary lions size, are they any bigger from what you've seen, a lot of posters Ive seen are acting like their the biggest?
