Life in such reserves is quite "easy", sometimes they even feed the lions, but even if they don't, life is still in nno comparison close to free-roaming lions, and they always get the best genes every generation because the reserve always buy the biggest and best looking lions to mate with their pride.

Yeah, that is what I thought, thank you, my friend. Though, I am not sure there is much distinction between captive raised, and lions on a reserve that actually feeds them.

I also wonder if he is a real Barbary Lion, or if they even have the ability to tell such things anymore, or if that name comes from his appearance. I have seen other lions, all captive kept, where people have speculated that they may be Barbary Lions, my guess is it the result of their appearance, and not scientifically proven. Reply
