How did the Asiatic lion, once on the verge of extinction, survive in extinction?

Because it was well protected by humans when it was on the verge of extinction. That's why it's alive now. Although there are not many of them at present, the number of races will definitely be large in the future.

In fact, it is mainly because these lions have changed their living habits, and they are also forced to do so.

This is because I can live in human reserves, and people don't bother them, and I hope that there will be more and more of them, so that the earth will be more diverse.

It's a shame that such a cute cougar is on the verge of extinction.

The extinct lion species are:

1. Barbary lions, also known as North African lions and Atlas lions, are one of the largest and named subspecies of lions, which have been distributed in Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia and Libya. With an average weight of 223 kilograms, it is the second largest lion subspecies in history, second only to the Cape lion, and has an astonishing scientific record in Egypt in the 19th century, reaching an astonishing 300 kilograms with body size data, which is a ridiculously high swimming figure.

2. The Cape Lion is a subspecies of lion extinct in modern times, also known as the Cape of Good Hope Lion, in the 19th century, the wild Cape Lion became extinct, but some zoos still have its descendants, the Cape Lion is also known as the Cape Lion of Good Hope, the Cape Town Lion, is the world's extinct lion subspecies, the male shoulder height is 90 cm, including the tail of the whole length of up to meters, the weight can reach 187 kg, is the modern eliminated feline subspecies, and was also the lion living in the southernmost part of the earth.

A base has been established for the conservation of wild Asiatic lions, and research groups have been set up. Therefore, wild Asiatic lions have a place to live and a stable living environment, so that they can slowly recover their population.

Since European lions became extinct very early, little is known about them. The lion is described in detail in the Homeric epics of ancient Greece, where Aristotle and Herodotus described their discovery in the Balkans in 1000 BC. When Zexis I traveled through Alexander's empire in 480 BCE, he encountered several lions.

20 years ago and 1 year ago, European lions became extinct in Italy and Western Europe. Around 70 years ago, they were found only in northern Greece between the Ligakmon and Nicetus rivers. Eventually, they disappeared in Eastern Europe in 100.

From then on, until the 10th century, lions on the European continent lived only in the Caucasus.

The extinction of the European lion is due to overhunting, overexploitation and competition with stray dogs. Along with the Barbary Lion and the Asiatic Lion, the European Lions will fight warriors, Caspian tigers, bulls and bears in the Colosseum. Due to their geographical distribution, they were easier for the Romans to find.

When the European lion entered the period of extinction, the Romans began to import lions from North Africa and the Middle East.

The male lions, which live at the northern and southern ends of the continent, have more developed manes that extend to their backs and abdomen, and they are also the largest, although both subspecies have become extinct due to the special care that humans have taken with shotguns. The Asiatic lion located in India is smaller than its African counterpart and has a shorter mane. They are also on the verge of extinction.

Lions have lived in southeastern Europe, the Middle East, India, and the African continent in the past. The lions that lived in Europe became extinct around the 1st century AD, and the lions that lived in Asia, especially India, were almost slaughtered by the British colonists who conquered India in the early 20th century (a complete indication of the 'poor and rich' of the human beings'After the obscenity! Thankfully, the Indians, who have always worshipped lions as sacred beasts, were able to keep them and place them in the Gil National Forest Park in the northwestern Indian state of Gujarat.

There are now about 300-400 lions in the population. After the Asiatic lion living in Western Asia became extinct due to poaching, the Gill National Forest has become the last habitat ...... for the Asiatic lion

There are currently two subspecies that have been extinct by humans:

The Barbary lion, which lived in North Africa and became extinct in 1922: the Cape lion or Cape of Good Hope lion, which lived in the Cape province of South Africa, became extinct in 1865.

The offspring of the Asiatic lion "sacred relics" are fed by humans.

The Asiatic lion, also known as the Indian lion, is found only in western India and is the only lion that lives outside of Africa. Compared with the African lion, the Asian lion body is slightly smaller, the body length is m, the weight is scattered 100 200 kg, the male lion of the Asian lion not only has a long mane on the neck, but also has a small amount of long hair on the elbow of its forelimbs, and its tail end bulbous hair is also larger, the female of the Asian lion can be sexually mature at the age of 2 and a half, the male needs 4 years, they give birth to 2 3 lion cubs per litter, but the mortality rate of the lion cubs is higher, generally only survive 1 cub. After 3 months, the cubs can participate in hunting activities with their mothers and live with them for two years.

Asiatic lions live together in groups and often hunt in groups, but most of them are spring digging lionesses who prey, and male lions sit and enjoy their success. They have one lion driving their prey downwind of the other lions, and then they pounce on the prey together. They need to drink a lot of water when they are full, and the Asiatic lion lives in a tropical monsoon climate, with little rainy season and frequent droughts, so they have to travel far to find water after predation.

This harsh environment not only makes it difficult for Asiatic lions to drink water, but also has very little prey. The low survival rate of young children is also caused by insufficient water and food.

India is a traditionally religious country, and in religious legends the lion is considered a "sacred object". In the past, lions also used to prey on domestic animals when food was scarce. But the Indians have a strong religious belief and do not hunt them.

Therefore, although the Asiatic lion lives in a harsh environment, they have always lived well without human interference. Then, after India became a British colony in 1757, Asiatic lions also began to suffer their doom. The British colonists saw hunting Asiatic lions as a form of entertainment.

By 1900, after more than 100 years of human hunting, Asiatic lions were very rare, and some animal protectors began to declare that they would protect Asiatic lions, but some people still secretly killed them. By 1908, only 13 Asiatic lions remained, and in order to prevent them from becoming extinct, they were all captured and bred in captivity, and the Asiatic lion disappeared from the wild. People want to be able to survive and reproduce Asiatic lions.

They were also released into the Gir Forest in western India, where a reserve was established, and although there are currently more than 200 Asiatic lions in breeding, they have formed a degraded race because they are all descendants of 13 ancestors, and are extremely susceptible to diseases and genes that lead to total extinction.
