About Panthera leo bleyenberghi

Lions are vulnerable in nature and in zoo's. It's a fact that in nearly every zoo of the world are lions so why they are vulnerable? It's easy to explain: in zoo's mostly lives lions, which are a mix of different lion species. In the past lions where breed to have big proud manes. So many subspecies of lions where mixed together. Today these subspecies are endangered and some are extinct. The Panthera leo bleyenberghi, also known as Katanga Lion, South-West African Lion or Angola Lion is one of these endangered Lions. There are only two reservates in africa and a few european zoos who got some of these wonderfull lions.
