The Barbary lion is considered a population of the African lion subspecies Panthera leo leo. This population is regionally extinct in North Africa. It inhabited the Atlas Mountains and was therefore also known as the Atlas lion. Alfred Edward Pease referred to the Barbary lion as the North African lion and claimed that the population had diminished since the mid-19th century, following the diffusion of firearms and bounties for shooting them. The last recorded shooting of a wild Barbary lion took place in Morocco, near Tizi n'Tichka in 1942. Small groups of lions may have survived in Algeria until the early 1960s, and in Morocco until the mid-1960s.
The American lion (Panthera leo or P. atrox) is also known as Naegele’s giant jaguar or American cave lion. It is an extinct species of lion which lived in North America during the Pleistocene (340,000 years ago to 11,000 years ago). It existed for about 330,000 thousand years.
The American lion belonged to the family Felidae. By analysing the species' genes, scientists have shown that it shared the same ancestor as the Eurasian cave lion. Most remains have come from the La Brea tar pits.
The American lion was large, about 25% larger than the modern African lion. There is no evidence that it was a social hunter like the modern lion, and that may explain its size.
The white lion is a rare color mutation of the lion, specifically the Southern African lion. White lions in the area of Timbavati were thought to have been indigenous to the Timbavati region of South Africa for centuries, although the earliest recorded sighting in this region was in 1938. Regarded as divine by locals, white lions first came to public attention in the 1970s, in Chris McBride's book The White Lions of Timbavati.https://kids.kiddle.co/White_lion
Lions have tawny, or yellowish brown, fur.https://kids.kiddle.co/lion.
The Asiatic Lion (Panthera leo persica) is a subspecies of the lion. It survives today only in India, where it is also known as the Indian lion. They once ranged from the Mediterranean to India, covering most of Southwest Asia, and hence it is also known as the Persian lion. The Asiatic lion has a cinnamon colour coat. It was the state animal of Junagadh Statehttps://kids.kiddle.co/Asiatic_Lion.
They grow to a length of about 10 feet (3 metres) and stand about 4 feet (1.2 metres) tall. African lions are about 4.5 to 6.5 feet; tail, 26.25 to 39.5 inches.https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/facts/african-lion
