I feel governements should pitch in to restore the destruction their ancestors caused: North African and European particularly. what about reintroduction in the wild? is it happening? I think Europeans wouldn&#39;t mind viewing wild Barbary Lions on a photo safari in the atlas Mountains, versus Kenya. That would be good for eco-tourism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036154454707124673.post-57005110323737053282010-03-30T16:21:26.294-07:002010-03-30T16:21:26.294-07:00The Austin Zoo might want to start playing Lotto. They stand a greater chance of winning that than having super rare lions rescued from some yahoo in Texas.

Just wish you also had an article about the also extinct caspian tiger, which is said to just be a variation of the siberian tiger, but either way, would have been nice for the western population to still be alive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036154454707124673.post-7657184634152412562008-11-15T15:47:00.000-08:002008-11-15T15:47:00.000-08:00I remember Sarabi and how they had found out she was A Barbary Lion. Sad to think they aren't in the wild anymore. It would take people to forget their differences and a change of attitude for these big cats to ever see their true habitats ever again. Interesting how their physical skull shape is different to the other subspecies of lions. Hope Leo and Fairy are having fun with their new birthday toys!!!<BR/>LizMad Bush Farm Crewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05100812038496671783noreply@blogger.com
