Seeing that big boy in the video was magnificent.

Did they say in German (or subtitled French) how many Barbary lion are left?

What is the breeding stock?

How they avoid inbreeding?

Which must be a huge risk. I wonder if they use other lion breeds to stop the inbreeding or will in the future. But will undoubtably dilute the barbary characteristics. But may stop inbreeding defects.

Can someone say - even the females seemed to have tufts, is this characteristic of the female barbaries? Or maybe these were young males?



He looks damned sad.



Big leopard too.

I wonder why the genetics of the Barbary species led to larger animals? Or this this only an assumption? Certainly the manes on the lion would only be possible in more open, less thick thorn bush country. Northern Africa is not all desert, the Atlas Mountains are alpine. There are also is lush country, forests, temperate and rich farming country.
