The lion is a powerful species, a carnivorous species, the largest lion in the world today, should be the Barbary lion, its body length reached about 2.5 meters, the length of the tail reached one meter, once in Morocco and Egypt, Tunisia and other ** existence, is a well-known species outside the lion, but also belongs to the earliest European people to understand a class of creatures.
1. Elements of the extinction of the Barbary lion.
The reason why the Barbary lion became extinct is important because in the Roman era, many Romans would take the Barbary lion back and put it outside the Colosseum as a fighting animal, so as to indirectly satisfy the desire of the Romans to struggle, and then with the demise of the Roman Empire, the number of this lion also began to increase slightly.
At first, with the destruction of the man-made environment, the range of environments in which the lion could live gradually increased, and the killing of people also made the beginning of this species increase consistently, and in 1922, after the last lion was shot, the beginning of the game died down.
2. The dispersal of the Barbary Lion.
If you know about the Barbary lion, you will still find that this species itself inhabits some countries and regions near the Atlas Mountains, such as Algeria and Morocco. Because these areas, in comparison, are still relatively cold, so the Barbary lion is very fond of living in these **, especially in the winter, and has never withdrawn, so the dispersal range is still very wide, and it is a kind of creature that lives alone.
The extinction of the Barbary lion is also caused by human hunting, etc., and then at the beginning of the twentieth century, there was a population of Barbary lions, but this population did not escape the attack of humans, and the last Barbary lion was killed at the moment of 1922, and a large number of furs and bones were listed in European museums, and this eternal object was completely hidden.
The largest lion in history is the brutal lion that lived during the Ice Age, reaching up to 4 meters in length, but this lion has long since become extinct, and the largest of the lions in existence is the Barbary lion, which can reach 36 meters. Unfortunately, this pure breed of lion became extinct in 1922, and only the mixed breed is still alive.
The Barbary lion is a subspecies of the African lion, with males slightly larger than females, who can be up to 2 years long8 meters, tail length 1 meter, weight 240 to 280 kg. They are more robust than other subspecies of the African lion, with males having a dense mane that spreads across the head and neck, back and abdomen, and is darker from front to back.
Barbary lions are mainly found in countries around the Atlas Mountains, which are cooler than other parts of Africa, but Barbary lions are adapted to this environment. Unlike other subspecies of lions, they tend to live alone, similar to tigers.
Barbary lions once found themselves in Morocco, Algeria, Egypt and Tunisia with few natural predators, but human repression and hunting led to a drastic decline in their populations, and in 1922, the last wild Barbary lion was shot in the Atlas Mountains, and since then, there has been no trace of Barbary lions in the wild, only a few impure Barbary lions have been found in circuses or zoos.
When it comes to lions, the most famous is probably the African lion today, there is a Barbary lion, which is more powerful than the African lion.
It was once the largest lion in the world and one of the largest animals in the world.
But decades ago, this super-large lion was extinct in the wild, and only a dozen non-purebred ...... were left in captivityThe World's Largest Lion As early as thousands of years ago, in the Colosseum of ancient Rome, the Barbary lion was regarded as the most ferocious fighting beast.
The head of the triumvirate of carnivores in North Africa and the largest lion in the world.
However, in 1925, it was considered extinct.
Since then, I have only seen dozens of artificially bred ones, and they are all non-purebred.
Its appearance is very imposing, it can be said to be the model of all lions, with a huge body shape and a thick mane, which is completely in line with the male aesthetics of humans.
The Barbary lion is famous for its gorgeous mane that runs from the shoulder blades to the middle of its back, and its elbows are clumped with a fringed mane that extends from its belly to its inner thighs.
They are more robust than their Saharan siblings, and have clear grey eyes embedded in the broad face of the Barbary lion, the color of the whitened sand, slightly lighter than the amber characteristic of the eyes of the southern lion.
The eyes are transparent, unlike the brownish-yellow-amber color of sub-Saharan lions.

Since ancient times, many animals have been hunted and killed by humans, resulting in extinction.
The Barbary lion was once known as the largest lion in the world, but it became extinct due to massive human hunting.
Barbary lions were considered extinct in 1925, and many impure-blooded Barbary lions have appeared in circuses, and the pure-blooded ones are now extinct by humans.
The world's largest Barbary lion From ancient times to the present, many animals on the earth have been extinct, and some of them have not perished naturally, but by humans, and the Barbary lion is one of them.
The Barbary lion, also known as the North African lion and the Atlas lion, is 235-2.8 meters, female body length 235-2.5 meters, tail length 1 meter, weight 240-280 kg, it weighs an average of 223 kg, it was once called the largest lion in the world.
The Barbary lion is a well-known subspecies of lion and the first lion to be recognized by Europeans, and the head of the triumvirate of carnivores in North Africa.
They are the closest relative to the Asiatic lion than other African lions, and some even believe that the European lion, which became extinct in the first century AD, is a subspecies.
During the Roman Empire, they were captured in large numbers and used as fighting beasts in the Colosseum to satisfy the Roman desire to kill and fight.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, their numbers were greatly reduced.
Since then, their habitat has shrunk with the destruction of the natural environment in North Africa by humans.
At the same time, it poses an increasing threat to human beings, so it has always been suppressed and hunted by human beings, and the space and territory for survival are decreasing day by day.
With the last wild Barbary lion shot in Morocco in 1922, the Barbary lion, which had survived for thousands of years in northern Africa, finally disappeared from North Africa, and was considered extinct in 1925.
However, after 1965, many impure Barbary lions were found in many circuses or zoos.
Feline zoologist Brehm measured the data of North African lions as follows: male body length 195~2.08 meters, tail length 099-1.14, shoulder height 104~1.25 meters.

The lion is a ferocious species, belonging to the carnivorous species, the largest lion in the world today, should be the Barbary lion, its body length reached about 2.5 meters, the length of the tail reached one meter, once existed in Morocco and Egypt, Tunisia and other places, is a well-known species of lions, and also belongs to the earliest European people to understand a class of creatures.
1. The reason for the extinction of the Barbary lion.
The reason why the Barbary lion became extinct is mainly because in the Roman era, many Romans would take the Barbary lion back and put it in the Colosseum as a fighting animal, so as to directly satisfy the desire of the Romans to fight, and then with the fall of the Roman Empire, the number of this lion began to decrease significantly.
Later, with the destruction of the natural environment, the range of the environment in which the lion could survive gradually decreased, and the killing of people also made the species begin to decline continuously, and in 1922, after the last lion was shot, it began to disappear.
2. The distribution range of the Barbary lion.
If you know about the Barbary lion, you will still find that this species itself lives in some countries and regions near the Atlas Mountains, such as Algeria and Morocco. Because these areas are still relatively cold in comparison, Barbary lions like to live in these places, especially in winter, and never leave, so the distribution range is still very wide, and it is a solitary creature.
The extinction of the Barbary lion was completely caused by human hunting, etc., and then at the beginning of the twentieth century, there was a population of Barbary lions, but this population did not escape the attack of humans, and the last Barbary lion was killed in 1922, and a small amount of fur and bones were listed in European museums, and the creature disappeared completely.
Sometimes, they were provoked by the ** cultists, and some Roman emperors captured 600 lions and transported them to Rome in order to hold a grand procession to commemorate the victory in the war.
By the time the Roman Empire fell, the Barbary lion was no longer visible in much of North Africa.
It was not the Romans who controlled North Africa, nor the Barbary lions, but the desert.
The overgrazing of livestock is the main reason for this, and even the slightest bit of green cover will drive a lot of livestock to the area, even the lions will be driven away, and this will continue in a vicious circle until it becomes a vast desert.
By the 20th century, there were fewer than 600 Barbary lions left, but humans still relentlessly hunted them, and the last position of Barbary lions was in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.
By 1914, there were fewer than 150 Barbary lions.
In 1922, the last Barbary lion was hunted down by humans.
This was the last time humans saw Barbary lions in the wild.
In 1925, the Barbary lion (purebred) was considered extinct.
However, more than 70 years later, experts have discovered that there are still many mixed blood lions of Barbary lion blood in some zoos or circuses.
Brutal Lion The current largest lion in the world is the Barbary lion, one of the largest animals in the world, but the purebred Barbary lion has also long been extinct.
And the biggest lion in history is the famous brutal lion.
The name Brutal Lion is really very apt, because its size is huge, even twice the size of the Barbary Lion, and the ferocity can be imagined, but the Brutal Lion has been extinct for a long timePrevious 1 2Next.
Speaking of lions, I believe everyone is very familiar with lions, they are powerful and fierce and well-deserved kings of the grassland. The combat effectiveness of a single body is also very large, not to mention that lions are still group animals. In the vast grassland, no one dares to mess with them. So, did you know the biggest lion in the world? Let's follow me to find out!
The Barbary lion, also known as the North African lion, is the second largest subspecies of lions. They are stronger than African lions, currently the largest lion in the world, and one of the largest animals in the world. By 1925, the purebred lineage of Barbary lions living in the wild had become extinct, and only a dozen non-purebred Barbary lions were left in captivity.
Morphological characteristics. The male Barbary lion is larger than the female lion, and the male = Barbary lion body length is generally 28 to 36 meters, the length of the tail is generally one meter long, and the weight of the body is generally 240 to 280 kilograms. The Barbary lion is stronger than the African lion, and the male Barbary lion has very thick and dense hair, from the head to the back, the color of the hair is darker and darker from front to back
Habits. They are mainly found in the countries near the Atlas Mountains, and they live in areas that are much cooler than those where African lions live. The main thing is that they are very adaptable to the environment, and unlike other lions, they do not like to live in groups, Barbary lions prefer to live alone, which is very similar to tigers.
Species status. They used to be found in many countries and had few natural predators. However, they were hunted and suppressed by us humans, and their populations gradually declined. In 1922, the last remaining wild Barbary lion was hunted and killed by us humans on Mount Art. Since then, we humans have not seen them in the wild mountains, only in the zoo have found Barbary lions, but none of them are purebred.
