No. Barbary Coast lions are extinct in the wild. Only a few remain in captivity. They are smaller, with bigger manes, and darker fur.
There are plenty of White lions in captivity, and a small but viable wild population.
Hard to say in the wild they live about 10 years (the fights with other lions take a toll on their bodies). However in captivity they can live more than 20 years.
yes
No, there are no species of lions in Australia in the wild, only in captivity.
Barbary lions were large lions that roamed northern Africa. Except for a few that are in captivity, they are considered extinct in the wild.
There are many different Lions. African Lions hang out in dense bushy areas on the veldt.
Sea Lions live longer in captivity. An average life span for a sea lion in the wild is 18 years and 23 in captivity. But, that does not mean an animal in the wild can't live longer than one in captivity.
Lions usually eat,sleep, and ROAR. They don't have worries that they would have in the wild. They don't have to hunt for food nor protect their pride. They have it easy for themselves in captivity. And plus they live longer in captivity. Lions in the wildonly live 10-14 years, but in captivity they live for about20 years. WOW! Thanks 4 readin'
There are two main types of lions: African lions (Panthera leo) and Asiatic lions (Panthera leo persica). African lions inhabit sub-Saharan Africa, while Asiatic lions are found in the Gir Forest of India. Both types are members of the same species but have key physical and behavioral differences.
