Some of these guys look so much like Asiatic-African hybrids that used to be bred in Indian zoos once!
The practice was discontinued due to the animals having little to no conservation value. BTW, you post mostly images. So, try to provide photo credits, or atleast a link to the source whenever possible. (01-23-2019, 06:28 PM)Lycaon Wrote: I get most of these images from It's easy for facebook posts...

A big part of me is more about the conservation aspect ... so do you know of any reputable NGO's who you might recommend supporting? thank you

That's exactly what they look like, just tend to not have the belly fold.

I find it interesting that many people on this forum think west african lions look like gir lions. For me they look completely different from each other
