Where do black lions live?

Answer 1

Big black lions are said to be roaming the streets of Matsulu township outside the Mpumalanga capital, terrifying residents who say they are too afraid to walk outside at night.

Residents have been making anonymous phone calls to the Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency (MTPA) about "black lions" that have escaped from the neighbouring Kruger National Park

People receiving these calls from frightened residents who tell us that they spotted black lions prowling the area

It is surprising for us to hear of black lions. But, although it's hard to believe, you don't just dismiss these kind of things. Maybe we are sitting on a great discovery

No reports of attacks

Masombuka said some people who said they had seen may have mistaken the dark brown colours for black, or perhaps they had seen the lions at night.

Residents were warned not to try tackle the lions on their own, but to immediately report sightings to the MTPA.

Answer 2

Black lions are a myth. They do not exist. There are black jaguars and black leopards, however.
