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.

the male is a masai lion and the female a "Mesopotamian" lion. Unfortunately I could not find any further info about it..

The female does have a typical Asiatic-y face compared to the male, especially the muzzle. It's so, so unfortunate that they interbred these & ruined their genetic purity.

Even though belonging to the same genetic clade as Gir lions, they would have possessed unique local traits.
Egyptian god Sekhmet looks like an Asiatic too. I guess this sculpture was based on Barbary lions of Sinai-Egypt that shared genes with Asiatics from Middle East.
