Lions meet the lion gene classified as Asian or an African lion. Both have varied physical and social. But it was the Barbary lion resident in North Africa, which resembled the Asiatic lion most of the African lion. Another distinguishing feature of the rest Barbary lion was that he preferred to live in mountain areas and not in the bush or open grassy plains and stretches of Africa, or the West India very protected environment. It is separated from the rest of the population of lions in the deserts of the south, southeast and east of the High Atlas and the small. He was also known as the Atlas lion or Nubian lion. The last Barbary lion in the wild was shot in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco in 1922. Deforestation and encroachment by man are the other major causes of extinction in the wild. Two other predators of the Atlas Mountains - leopard and bear Berber Atlas also became extinct.
The Barbary lion joined the pantheon of evil predators when graphically described in the pleadings relating to the Roman Empire. Fighting gladiators and martyrs innocent party. But the Barbary lion extinction occurred in stages. His first killed in Tripoli in 1700, and then in Tunisia due to hunting by sportsmen in Arabic and French in Algeria in 1891, due to the fact that the government has encouraged the tribes to hunt them in 1899, and finally in Morocco because of civil war and widespread confusion forest thieves.
The male Barbary lion weighs between 500-600 pounds only Comm, while females weigh 300-350 kilograms. That is 50% more than the African lion weighs. His body was lower than their counterparts in Asia and Africa, but his body can grow up to 11 feet long. Her legs are shorter contributed to their overall muscular look. A distinctive feature is that their chest hair walking through the front legs, with the lower part of her abdomen to the groin. The color of the hair is one of the many variants or blond depending on age, sex and physical condition of the lion. Prey includes the step of Barbary, Arabian gazelle and cattle. If the opportunity is there then how the horses have not been spared. The bodies found indicated that the main method of hunting is similar to that of all other lions. E 'was death by strangulation where the lion was chasing a prey, and sink their teeth into the neck. Since living in mountainous terrain, had lived a solitary life or in pairs occasionally. Young females up to maturity - about 2 years and then separated them.
Males and females only meet constantly spawning season. Old females begin to arrive, once they are about 2 years, but not gene rally conceive until 3-4 years. Men have the ability to reproduce at 30 months, but it tends to produce puppies before 3 years of age. Room is about 110 days, after 1-6 cubs are born, with 4.3 being the most common. Puppies are manifestation of genes strongly stained with dark rosettes and weighs about 3.5 pounds at birth.
A DNA analysis of Asian and African lions have proved thatthey two different sub-species, but it is suspected that if this type of analysis will be carried out in the Barbary lion has a third sub-species. There are unconfirmed reports that a pair of Barbary lions in captivity there in North America certainement sanctuaries. Today, more than 15,000 to 20,000 lions survive in the wild. If not taken concrete steps to protest the lion will not be long that the King of Beasts becomes a folk tale that we tell our descendants.
