Could Asiatic Lions Survive in Africa?

Описание: Could Asiatic Lions Survive in Africa?

Several lion subspecies are found in the wild. Two of them are the African lion and the Asiatic lion.
When the two subspecies of Panthera leo are seen side by side, differences between them might seem relatively minor -- but appearances don't tell the whole story. Today, fewer than 30,000 African lions and only about 400 Asiatic lions are left in the wild. Asiatic lions once prowled from the Middle East to India. Now, only a fraction of these magnificent animals survive in the wild. The Gir Forest's dry teak woods were once a royal hunting ground. Today they are a reserve where these at-risk big cats are heavily protected.
Male Asiatic lions do not live in prides. In fact, they tend to only associate with female lions when mating or at large kills. Otherwise, they live alone or in partnership with another male lion. These partnerships allow male Asiatic lions to control larger territories and more easily scare off rival males.
So, could Asiatic lions Survive in Africa?
