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.

Hello @"Brehmji", nice to meet you.

Yes, I can make a comparison with the African lion. However, you most remember that there is no such thing as "African" lion per se, because in Africa we have two subspecies and different clades.

In this case, the west and north African lions (Barbary) are of the same subspecies than the Indian lion (Panthera leo leo) while those of the sub-Saharan region are the other subspecies (Panthera leo melanochaita), with two different clades: the East and the Southern lion.

At this moment, I have at hand the average East African lion and the Southern African lion is just about 10 cm longer and at the same shoulder height, so I am going to put that image for you. [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]
