This is a subspecies of lion that is now extinct in the wild. There are now less than 100 individuals left and all of them are in zoos all over the world. If you look closely you can see the hair on the belly of the lion as well. This is one of the distinguishing features of barbary lions.
Here's another picture of a barbary lion,

Hello,
Sad to see no one's been kind enough to leave a good word for you - your Barbary lion images are stupendous!
May I ask you please, the side view lion, is that Joseph?
Also, do you know if the King of Morocco is still funding the Barbary lion project, please?
Thank you very much,
Nanette
