West African Lion Images Collection

West African Lion images - The West African lion (Panthera leo senegalensis), also called Senegal lion, was considered a lion subspecies native to Central and Western Africa. Based on a genealogical mitochondrial DNA analysis, IUCN Red List assessors provisionally subsumed lion populations in Central, Western and Northern Africa to P. l. leo.
Already in 2004, the population of lions in Western and Central Africa was small and fragmented. The regions were estimated to have comprised at most 1,800 individuals. The Senegal lion was therefore considered regionally endangered.
