World Lion Day – August 10, 2022
#WorldLionDay
World Lion Day – In the wild, there are two formally recognised lion subspecies. The African lion (Panthera leo leo) is found in sub-Saharan Africa. The Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica) exists in one small population around Gir Forest National Park in western India.
The Lions in the west and central Africa are more closely related to these Asiatic lions in India than to those found in southern and east Africa.
