The lion is a large cat of the genus Panthera native to Africa and India.

- The male lion's mane is the most recognisable feature of the species.
- Accounts of a few individuals that were larger than average exist from Africa and India.
- The size and weight of adult lions vary across its range and habitats.
- Among felids, the lion is second only to the tiger in size.
- The skeletal muscles of the lion make up 58.8% of its body weight and represent the highest percentage of muscles among mammals.

- Due to the amount of skull variation in the two species, usually only the structure of the lower jaw can be used as a reliable indicator of species.

- Its skull is very similar to that of the tiger, although the frontal region is usually more depressed and flattened and has a slightly shorter postorbital region and broader nasal openings than those of the tiger.
- It is readily identifiable at the age of seven months.
- The tuft is absent at birth and develops at around 5+1⁄2 months of age.
- The functions of the spur are unknown.
- The tail of all lions ends in a dark, hairy tuft that in some lions conceals an approximately 5 mm (0.20 in)-long, hard "spine" or "spur" that is formed from the final, fused sections of tail bone.
- A new-born lion has dark spots, which fade as the cub reaches adulthood, although faint spots often may still be seen on the legs and underparts.
- The colours of the underparts are generally lighter.
- The fur varies in colour from light buff to silvery grey, yellowish red and dark brown.
- males have broader heads.
- The finis are taking their talents to South Beach.

- The leopon is a hybrid between a lion and leopard.
- Today, we proudly introduce ourselves as Avara.
Avara is the home to some of the most innovative web3 brands: Aave, Lens Protocol, GHO, Sonar, and now Family, all building towards a people powered internet that benefits all.
We're thrilled to announce the acquisition of Family. With Family, led by Benji Taylor, we're reinforcing our commitment to making web3 accessible through world class product design.

- The liger is bigger than a lion and a tiger, whereas most tigons are relatively small compared to their parents because of reciprocal gene effects.
- In zoos, lions have been bred with tigers to create hybrids for the curiosity of visitors or for scientific purpose.
- We rewrote the code and added some features.
Now go build.

- possibly migrating through corridors in the Nile Basin during the early Holocene.

- This phenomenon indicates that Central Africa was a melting pot of lion populations after they had become isolated,
- A whole genome-wide sequence of lion samples showed that samples from West Africa shared alleles with samples from Southern Africa, and samples from Central Africa shared alleles with samples from Asia.
- which indicates that this group has a longer evolutionary history than genetically less diverse lion samples from Asia and West and Central Africa.
- Genetic evidence revealed numerous mutations in lion samples from East and Southern Africa,
- Extinction of lions in southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East interrupted gene flow between lion populations in Asia and Africa.
- Lions from North Africa dispersed to southern Europe and Asia between 38,800 and 8,300 years ago.
- lions moved from West to Central Africa.
- As the rainforest decreased and thus gave rise to more open habitats,

- lion populations in West and North Africa became separated.
- Due to the expansion of the Sahara between 83,100 and 26,600 years ago,
- They shared a common ancestor probably between 98,000 and 52,000 years ago.
- Lion populations in East and Southern Africa became separated from populations in West and North Africa when the equatorial rainforest expanded 183,500 to 81,800 years ago.
- The modern lion was probably widely distributed in Africa during the Middle Pleistocene and started to diverge in sub-Saharan Africa during the Late Pleistocene.
- The Eurasian and American cave lions became extinct at the end of the last glacial period without mitochondrial descendants on other continents.
- indicating that they did not share the same geographic area.
- There is no evidence for gene flow between the two lineages,
- Estimates for the divergence time of the modern and cave lion lineages range from 529,000 to 392,000 years ago based on mutation rate per generation time of the modern lion.
- The earliest fossils recognisable as lions were found at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania and are estimated to be up to 2 million years old.
- The lion-leopard clade was distributed in the Asian and African Palearctic since at least the early Pliocene.
