| Video Discription | The Asiatic lion (formerly known as Panthera leo persica), also known as the Indian lion or Persian Lion is a lion subspecies that what we know, lives as a single population in Gujarat, India. It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List because of its small population size. As of June 2020, lion population was estimated at 674 individuals. First described as Felis leo persicus, its historical range included eastern Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Mesopotamia, and from east of the Indus River in the former Sind Province to Bengal and Narmada River in Central India. The type specimen of the Asiatic lion was first described from Persia in 1826. It also occurred in Arabia, Palestine, Mesopotamia (Iraq) and Baluchistan (Pakistan). Lions from Greece and Asia Minor tended not to have abdominal or lateral manes, or ulnar hair. Those from the Syrian region and Arabian Peninsula tended to be maneless, similar to their Egyptian relatives. In contrast, depictions of lions from the Mesopotamian Plain, such as in Nineveh, show that they possessed underbelly hair. Apart from captive lions in temperate climates, the only other lions that were noted to have underbelly hair were Barbary and Cape lions. By the turn of the century, the Gir Forest held the only Asiatic lion population in India, which was protected by the Nawab of Junagarh in his private hunting grounds. The current population of all 700 or so Asiatic lions is derived from that 12-20 left in wild at the turn of the 19th century after very strict measures of conservation and protection. #extinctionblog #asiaticlionhistory #indiangirlions Music: Mist (YouTube Audio Library) f_vskK-rj4k |
