barbary lion is the king of all lions!

Elelisrael is right, Barbary's manes go all down there stomach. But Barbary's are coming back, Operation: Barbary Lion is rounding up as much as they can. Unfortunatly, zoos don't want to give up there lions. Cute video though XD.

It would be great if there were few hundreds of TRUE barbary lions in zoos...

Please, I´m sure that you are saying this with no bad intentions, but in fact, the mane extending to the belly isn´t a way to identifiy barbary lions. In fact asiatic lions also do have it and certain african lions when exposed to colder climates start to have hair on their belly as well.
Check on google « The sixth extinction- Species info- Barbary Lion and you´ll have a better idea.
Best wishes to your project anyway. I hope they are true Atlas lions

@elelisrael Thats a Barbary hes just young and havent met his prime yet. Notice the hair under his belly starting to grow in about 1-2 years he'll have a full mane.

Barbary Lions are extinct in the wild, though there are few hundreds remaining in zoos.

big and beautiful Barbary lion.

This is the most entrancing thing I've ever seen.

maybe maybe its not adult but i think you are right.
But i really hope that it is an full barbary so the breeding will be more succesfull for the Barbary Lions

How come? Barbary Lions are extinct aren't they?

The last Barbary lion was shot in the wild in the 1920's. The lions at Port Lympne are descended from those at Rabat Zoo, (which were previously kept in private menageries by the Kings of Morocco for generations), and have the longer, heavier mane which extends along the belly that is characteristic of the Barbary lion. An international breeding programme is in place to restore this majestic species. See the Port Lympne website for more info on our lions and the breeding programme.
