The Atlas Mountains and the Barbary Lion

The barbary lions used to be found in the Atlas mountains. See the picture below for the location of the Atlas Mountains in North Africa. All the wild lions that used to roam these mountains have been killed. The last wild Barbary lion was hunted down in early 1920s. Since then, they are only in zoos all over the world.

Thank you for your picture and videos of Barbary Lions! I'm sure you've had to take a lot of time on the subject. They certainly are beautiful animals!
