Nop, it is not. In fact, I was checking the skull in the original page it it looks more like an American "lion" than to a modern lion at all. Also, the information that they share about the skull, the guy from the webpage says that is 100,000 years ago! How in hell could he got a Barbary lion skull from 100,000 years ago? Which are the posibilities? Check the image:

How he can say that this "subspecies" evolved at 100,000 years ago and latter he says that this particular skull is also from 100,000 years ago? There are no Paleontological studies in Morocco or anything around that area, not focused in Pleistocene mammals at least, so this story do not make sence and is certainly false. Also, he claim that Barbary lions were of the same size as American cave "lions", that is a nonesense and support my view that IF this skull is real, that is from Panthera atrox (and a small one, as the length that he report is incorrectly taken), again IF is real.

The more I check this entire history and check the specimen, the more I see that all this looks like an scam. That huge collection of "fossils", how he get them? Who is (or are) his scientific advisor? Did he has calibration methods and devices to check the age of the specimens?

We need to make this questions about the specimens from this type of webpages. Like I said, if you check the entire story about how he got the skull, it looks to good to be real. Please read it, the link is in the upper part of the image. Reply
