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.

Iran wants to bring back the Asiatic lion to its wilderness, and it already has a male in captivity in Tehran Zoological Park, but considering what the situation is with the cheetah, I wonder how they'll manage? https://en.mehrnews.com/news/144891/Will...nce-pushed

The Asiatic Lioness strolling around the safari route at Gir National Park & Sanctuary. Gir is one of those few parks in India which are very well-managed in terms of tourist facilities as well as wildlife conservation. Out of entire Gir, around 10% of geographical area is allocated for tourists visiting Gir. As of now, tourism zone is divided into 13 routes most of which overlap with each other or are reverse of one another. Behind the lioness, at a junction is a signboard signalling the path of various routes.

About #1097: This lion doesn't seem to be an adult one. And already able to kill a blue bull ? Like 

In the english-french dictionary "blue bull" is translated by nilgai (more precisely an other name of nilgai), but I doubt of that by watching the photo...

It is quite possible that other lions killed the Nilgai or something else caused it's death but it is definitely a bull Nilgai - one can see white fur patch under the head, starting of the neck, which common in most bull nilgai.

Forward from (https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-europea...6#pid82046), Heptner and Sludskiy acknowledged the presence of the lion in southeastern Europe, in the region of the Black Sea, particularly Greece and the Balkans (https://archive.org/stream/mammalsofsov2...0/mode/2up), and this is supported by authors like Frazer (https://archive.org/stream/pausaniassdes...earch/lion), Douglas (http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks03/0300611h.html) and Jardine (https://archive.org/stream/naturalistsli...8/mode/2up), besides ancient scholars like Aristotle (https://archive.org/stream/wildbeastsstu...6/mode/2up), Homer (https://www.researchgate.net/publication...cal_record) and Agatharhides (https://snarla.wordpress.com/2007/08/31/arabian-lions/) of Greece, with the latter commenting that even Arabian lions were transported to Greece for entertainment or blood-games. It is assumed that these lions are the same race as the lions that are now found in India, but these encyclopædias from the 19th Century, when the range of the lion was much more extensive, say that 3 types of Asiatic lions were considered (https://books.google.com/books?id=TX7BmP...&q&f=falsehttps://books.google.com/books?id=GWslAA...on&f=false)!

Achelous River between Acarnania and Aetolia (these regions having been discussed here: https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-the-siz...ion?page=5) in Greece, which Herodotus (https://www.researchgate.net/publication...cal_record, https://archive.org/stream/wildbeastsstu...8/mode/2up) mentioned as a boundary of the Greek lion's range: http://www.greenfromgreece.gr/index.php/...lous-river

Now that is southeastern Europe. If the lion didn't inhabit southwestern Europe, then I wonder why people from Italy or Spain in the Bronze Age would make a lion statue?

That southern Italian or Spanish lion statue from the Bronze Age (https://tcaabudhabi.ae/DataFolder/report...-%20EN.pdf) wasn't the only lion statue or piece of art that the Louvre Abu Dhabi had, from places where lions wouldn't be seen nowadays, here are my own photos of lions in ancient or prehistoric Arabian art, from Saudi Arabia or Yemen: 
           

Additionally, one can see a lion-like figure amongst the animals in this piece of rock art, similar to what is depicted here (http://saudi-archaeology.com/subjects/lion/):
