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.

Very basic of the biology again...


We know that African lions and Asiatic Lions cannot reproduce together. Some Indian zoos director tried to do that, total failure, the engendered individuals were defect, flaw... Thus we can almost already say that African and Asiatic lions are two dictint species. Because that is that, the specy definition isn' t ? The reproduction ability between males and females within this same specy...

At a pinch reproduction between lion and tiger (engendering liger and tigron...) gives less defect individuals, quite sterile but more autonomous.


Thus I can easily admit that p. Atrox, cave lion and p. leo are different species... different species of lions ? Like the Asiatic elephant and the Africa elephant are two differents species of elephant...


The biggest reason of the failure is that the modern Asiatic lions were highly inbred.

Historically, when the African lion and Asiatic lion met in the wild, they can produce the healthy offspring without any problem.
