Lion research - your help please.......
      #57770 - 25/05/06 06:03 PM


Folks,

I've got myself involved in a small way in some very interesting Lion research. Can I ask anyone/everyone out there to please help me by sending me pictures of any (MALE) Lions they've taken and details of which area and country and which year. It would be especially useful for me to have a frontal shot showing full face including hairline of the mane and also a side shot showing the full mane. A close up of the teeth as well would also be very useful.

The research will be used to try to discover if its possible to make an accurate assessment of age in relation to area and combined physical characteristics and also to try to discover if there are many regional differences in mane development etc.

You can either post your pics and details here or if you prefer, just e-mail them to me at shakari@mweb.co.za

Thanks in advance......

Cool. Looking forward to these photos.

Just a starter, got to find the actual image and the others.

From the NE home page, one of a pair of male lions in Ngorongoro Crater, from 1988.

Yes, he's absolutely full of BS..... not only is it an offence to hunt anywhere in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area punshable by a fine of 3 million - 5 million TZ shillings and/or 1 to 3 years imprisonment - it's also illegal to hunt within 2 Kms of the boundary of the NCA................

The same applies to any Tanzanian National Park.......

Hope you didn't book with him!
