Egyptian lion versus Nubian lion

[edit]

Heptner and Sludskii (1972)[1] treated the Egyptian lion as a population of the Barbary subspecies (Panthera leo leo), 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 (P. l. nubicus syn. P. l. leo) needs research. Leo1pard (talk) 13:00, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
