- This is a video of the Asiatic lions at Paignton Zoo which I filmed on Friday (20.01.12), strangely during the last fours years of going to Paignton Zoo I had never seen the male lion being active. Therefore this is the first time I had ever seen him do more than lift his head and quite surprisingly he is very energetic. (It is worth noting that this footage of filmed at different times of day during my visit which explains the differences in light levels.)
These lions are Asiatic lions as per the zoo's website www.paigntonzoo...
imagine the india at the time of lot of lions,tigers,cheetah,leopard,clouded leopard,snow leopard i like this india who have a lot of trees,junglesand much more
This is very quickly reply but I said 'very lot ' word for those creatures and at nowadays fewer than 8000 indian leopards are in india, thanks for replying comment.
@@mahendragaikwad4412 rest assured India has more than 12000 leopards , more than any country in the world. And cheetahs are being reintroduced . Btw it's impressive how you responded after 7 years.
@@mahendragaikwad4412 India has 14000+ leopards not 8000
These Lions are Asiatic, the only reason why he has such a mane is due to cold climate which was the same reason why Barbary lions had it. Sub Saharan Lions have also been able to grow manes like this, mainly in high altitude habitats with the exception of southern Africa, in some areas it does get cold in winter, for example, in this video these are wild southern African lions called the Ngamo pride ruclips.net/video/k6-01RRwVtA/видео.html, as you see the male has a big mane even reaching his belly.
Yes exactly bro, his health is due to cold atmosphere
But it is purely Indian lion
@@deepachotaliya4042
Yes it's Indian. But my point is, every lion can look like this in colder climates. Many African lions in mountains had this mane, many Middle Eastern lions in mountains had this mane, so Indian lions that lived in mountains would've had it too.
Anyway, it's a climate thing, not a Barbary lion thing, so I'm glad you know the truth like me. By the way, I'm an African from Tanzania, it was nice talking to you my Indian friend.
No. According to recent study it's gene diversity which is lacking in wild. Gir lions can have this if they are bred with captive lions
@@vijaynagaraj3674
Dude, lions in Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania have long full manes and yet many of them are inbred, so that's clearly not true for them, plus they live in a cool mountainous climate. Look up "lion mane linked to climate" on Google, you'll find out how observations made found that lions in cool/cold climates develop longer fuller manes than in hotter (year-round) climates, that's why Indian lions in European zoos or North America are able to grow it like that.
Remember, those captive Indian lions grew up in a very different climate to wild Indian lions in the Gir, much colder climates of course, so it's clearly not a coincidence that they look different. This same thing applies to captive African lions too.
You can see the underbelly fold in the lioness. It's truly Asiatic lions.
They are 100% asiatic lions. In the cold climate lions mane become very deep.
Thanks, exactly these lions are definitely Asiatic lions and they are described as such at the zoo
No, these are definitely Asiatic lions and are described as such at Paignton Zoo. I expect this species grows a thicker mane in England because the British weather is much colder than their native Gir forest in Asia.
That's my favorite Lion subspecies
Mine too
Mine too 😍
Mine is barbary
Mine too Indians 🦁🦁🦁💪
Definitely Asiatic / Indian lions. You can easily see the ears with them, and are generally a little bit balder on the top. The thickness of the mane varies. In colder climates, the mane can get as thick as a Barbary lion's, except on top of the head where it might grow to as much as an African lion's. The hairy fold under the belly can be either Asiatic or Barbary, but Barbary usually also have hairy cuffs around their elbows.

African lions in cold climates have huge manes on the top of their heads, especially from southern Africa and eastern Africa. By the way, Barbary lions are also African lions.
Asiatic lion has beautiful face and this is Asiatic lion
Its scientific name is Persian Lion.;) Panthera Leo Persica
@The Alchemist
nah! Panthera leo Persica (or Asiatic/Persian Lion) is a Panthera leo leo. That means Panthera leo leo is a name for several lion types.
@The Alchemist
Exactly! "UNDER leo leo". That means leo leo is a category name for several lion types. Panthera leo Persica (or Asiatic/Persian Lion) has that name.
Beautifull Asiatic Lions.
Wt a beautiful couple..its love too watch..both very powerful great personalities..❤❤
What a cute couple of lions 💕😎✨😸
If they have belly curve, then they're definitely Asiatic Lions
Is called a belly fold bro, but I don't see it on these subspecies because the male has hair all the way down his belly as well, even the lioness doesn't have the belly fold because she's husky as well, I do believe these are Indian or Asiatic lions as well because of the tail cuff which is fuller than that of typical African lions.
Yes, they are definitely Asiatic Lions
very impressive mane, maybe it is because of the colder temperature.

Those paws!🤩
Without a doubt this lion easily can defeat or kill a tiger
Sounds like there is plenty of wildlife in India :)
Yes . There is a huge biodiversity in India. Earlier it used to be even much more huge.
@@harshsuman607 Indian i still the only country with 4 Big Cats - Tiger, Lion Leopard and Snow Leopard.
Unfortunately we lost Asiatic cheetahs

Interesting, have you ever visited the Gir forest?
I live next to it...talala these cats are majestic the lions near the village areas are far more active and muscular than that of national parks
Great video 📹
probably...Im from the same state where Gir forest is :-) and in the native language, a lion is called 'saawaj' ('sa' as in salsa and waj: wuh-j)
@kellogs552 Yes, these lions are definitely Asiatic Lions and are labelled as such at Paignton Zoo Environmental Park
They are gorgeous! They are like the lions England used to have, before they were killed off 1,000 years ago! Did they have cubs? I hope so!
great video
Also, lionesses are generally indistinguishable between African, Indian/Asiatic and Barbary species. They are the same size. The males, however:
- Asiatic/Indian: only slightly larger than the female
- African: significantly larger and longer than the female
- Barbary: waayyyyy bigger than the female.
+thejattlord Definitely Asiatic Lions www.paigntonzoo.org.uk/animals-plants/animals/details/asiatic-lion
Lionesses in captivity grow fat.Also they are given sterilization due to which they lose feminity.They also become less active and lethargic.
thejattlord No Asian lionesses faces look quite different from African lions. Especially the color of their ‘eyebrows’ and the shade of the markings around their eyes and the shape of their mouths.
Thanks, hopefully people will finally believe that these lions are Asiatic Lions... I don't know why so many people watching this video comment that these aren't really Asiatic lions!
They ARE Asiatic Lions, one can easily spot the belly folds. Cold is the only reason they both have fur and the male having a full mane.
The male is a beautiful lion, Christian, very much like a lion called Mohan who lived in the zoo in Finland and died in 2018. I sent a video to RUclips of him roaring. ruclips.net/video/fitvl1TDa1Q/видео.html This video was taken in 2013. I also have many comments saying he is African, by people who do not know about the growth of the mane in colder climate. It is great that you have been able to make a longer video than I could. I love to see him run.
Beautiful male.
No confusion face of the asiatic lion is always beautiful, this is the difference between asiatic lion and other lions.
The pride of india asiatic lion happy in britain,,, i want to saying thanks to british goverment who careing and safe this ceute indian big cate,,, and i want to give my 800 ekar land to breed and wetnary treatment तो asitic lion and re interduse some asiatic lion in near satpura mountain velly in central india,,, and i am a membar of asiatic lion project foundestion of central india
Wow they big and healthy
I didn't think asiatic lions got such big manes... atleast that is what the documentaries I have seen says
It is pure Indian lion, but his majestic look is due to cold weather, if their native can cold then they grow up like this in India too
Well they do live in the Gir forest rather than on open plains, so I guess being smaller is an advantage
It looks like a barbary lion because of ils awesome thick name but it must be an asiatic lion. In lyons " parc de la tête d or" as well there s an asiatic lion with à big mane that goes til its "parts". But the Barbary lion is extinct only in the wild so u may see some species in somz zoos...
that might be a baraby lion because there is no skin fold on the males stomach because asiatic lion males have skin folds

Every subspecies can grow those manes in cold climates, so it's not only for Barbary lions.
samir mirsa
Any lion can grow this mane in cold climates, not just Barbary lions.
asiatic lions have a smaller mane unfortunately due to extreme inbreeding levels from their small population. all asiatic lions also possess a split hole in their skulls due to this. it can't be helped.
2:06 will help you
I find they have very prominant eye tufts
They are very much like Barbary lions
I somewhat think BIAZA and their Asiatic lion studbook co-ordinator would know what species of lion one of their members zoos was holding.
But way smaller.
@@metallion0738 A lion is a lion , no matter big or small.
@@yashwardhanarya7115. True a lion is a lion, but that is not an African lion, that's an Asiatic lion or Indian lion on the RUclips video, Asiatic lions in captivity can grow a big mane as well, just as Barbarie lions.
Look at that barbary asiatic lion
The manes are unusually large, I guess. But it definitely doesn't have as much on top of its head, so another point for being an asiatic. Also, people have to keep in mind that those in the gir forest suffers terrible inbreeding and they are not representative of what might have been their looks. Most artwork depicting the asiatic lion has large manes but baldish on top unlike the African ones.
ney57e
Gir forest lions have small manes because of the hot climate, so inbreeding has nothing to do with it. I've seen genetically messed up lions in zoos, and they still have large manes. The depictions of Asian lions you're talking about are from places like Iran, where the climate is temperate and a lot colder than the Gir forest.
^ Lions from upper Baluchistan were described to be large and with bigger manes, some lions in Iran with areas of a lot of prey were "unusally large" for the asiatuic variety, well, now we know that barbary/asiatic/west african and ethiopean lions are of the same sub species Panthera Leo leo.
When you have a great marriage..See any kids? Exactly😂
Hey put that camera away! I want some privacy. I already smiled to you so you clicked it ok. Jajaja
In India they don't look like that
Asiatic lion found in india only
👍👍👍
Iranian lion
Ressemble au lion de l'Atlas ....
i'm not able to read or write and maybe i'm wrong, but those lions look pretty africans ... check out (Last Lions of India)
PS
interbreeding ?
Wrong
@@WhiteKnightProductions123 I have also a video here on an Asian lion in Helsinki zoo and at least 16 people have thought he was African. I have now written the truth with capitals in the start of the description but I doubt it will help. Even other commentators have corrected them, it is getting tiring.
@@ozsfi Everyone wants to ignore India & this ia the fact .
Reason is India has reach folra & fauna and also rich in other means.
@mary1976ify Ha Ha
European lions
European lions do not exist, congratulations on inventing an animal LOL
@@WhiteKnightProductions123 European climate change their body language
These are presian lion diffrent than ondian Gir forest lion
The last lions of Iran apparently died out in the 1940s, and so the only known wild Asiatic lions are from India, but who said that these are Iranian or Persian lions, rather than Gir lions/
These are Indian lions from Gir national Park that have been exported to a foreign zoo and have been raised there. They are gir forest lions. Indian lions. Who the hell is saying Persian lion?? There is no such thing as a Persian lion at least for now in this world.
@@harshsuman607 The word Persian is only in the Latin name, it is Asian or Asiatic in English.
Once asiatic lions found in Greece, anatolia , Caucasus, Mesopotamia, Arabian peninsula, Persia, indian subcontinent. Now only found in Gujarat ( india).in the cold climate lions mane become very deep.
Che pena poveri animali 😢. ....devono stare nel loro abitat naturale ...liberi di correre...e non rinchiusi 😢😢
Inbreeding depression.
This not asiatic lion is barbary or african lion
As per the zoo's website and WAZA these are Asiatic lions, therefore you are wrong
It is not asiatic lion .it is barbary lion.
www.paigntonzoo.org.uk/animals-plants/animals/details/asiatic-lion
Didn't the barbery lion have become extincted several decades ago
If you still think it's a barbary lion , you are living in dreams .. try to rewrite Wikipedia and others who think Barbary lion is an extinct Lion species 😂😂😂
No bro see beyond your eyes its the asiatic king the lion king
Funny how everything asian is small
