Types of lions

Subspecies Description Image
Egyptian lion (P. l. nubica or P. l. leo) Heptner and Sludskii (1972)[1] treated the Egyptian lion as a population of the Barbary subspecies, but at the same time, Egypt has a section of Nubia. Both Nubia and Egypt are in Northeast Africa,[2] they are neither exclusively Eastern nor Northern African. Whether or not the Egyptian lion is the Nubian lion needs research.
Ethiopian lion (P. l. roosevelti), also known as Abyssinian lion and Addis Ababa lion 15 captive lions in Ethiopia's capital city of Addis Ababa.[3] Researchers compared the microsatellite variations over ten loci of fifteen lions in captivity with those of six different wild lion populations. They determined that these lions are genetically unique and presumably that "their wild source population is similarly unique." These lions were part of a collection of the late Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia.[4]
Nubian lion (P. l. nubica) From Nubia.[5]
Somali lion (P. l. somaliensis syn. P. l. webbiensis) From Somaliland or Somalia, East Africa.[6][7]
