West African lion : ウィキペディア英語版 | West African lion The West African lion (''Panthera leo senegalensis''), also known as the Senegal lion, is a lion subspecies native to western Africa.〔 Results of genetic research indicate that the Western and Central African lions form a different clade of lions and are perhaps more related to Asian lions than to lions from southern or eastern Africa. The genetic distinctiveness is particular of interest, since West African lion populations are small and fragmented, comprising at most 1,800 individuals in all of West and Central Africa. The population is therefore considered Regionally Endangered.〔 == Characteristics == Lions from western and central Africa are believed to be smaller than lions from southern Africa. It is also suggested, that they have smaller manes, live in smaller groups, and they may also differ in the shape of their skull.〔Bertola, L., de Iongh, H., Vrieling, K. (2011).

Last Modified: 01-04-2011.〕 In the Pendjari National Park area, which is within the range of the West African lion, almost all males are maneless or have very weak manes.〔Schoe, M., Sogbohossou, E.
