Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos

[Pckts]

I have a couple of theories as to why.

1. They are not native and genetically inbred like you said
2. They are not meant to survive in that terrain, they aren't evolved to hunt through dense Forrest and that takes a toll on their physic.

But I will say that the females seem to look just fine, it's the males that usually look a little weird to me.
Some females as well, who knows for sure.
Either way, they are doing extremely well in the GIR now, and seem to have found their niche. Thats why they are looking for places to move them, their number are increasing.

But according to body dimensions, they are very close in size.
Body weight is with in 10-20kg on average between them, and some on the page before look pretty large and compare nicely to other African species.
I really think the mane is what makes people think they are so much smaller than Africans. Reply
