The number of lion subspecies is not firmly established. Some claim there are two extant subspecies: the African and the Indian. The question is also complicated by the fact that some claim the Great Rift Valley is a major barrior to genetic flow, making the lions of Eastern Kenya closer related to South African lions than they are to lions in Western Kenya.

1. Panthera Leo Krugeri is not “extinct in the wild”. It is true that is mostly found in national parks in South Africa, but bear in mind that the Kruger-Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area is 100,000 Km2. There are over 3000 lions in this area.

2. Panthera leo senegalensis – healthy lion population at Niokolo-Koba in Senegal, also in Benin and Cameroon.

3. Panthera leo azandica – rare but not extinct.
