The black lion

Hello, this is the black lion, his real name is "Panthera leo melanochaitus" and is already an extinct species.lived in the herbaceous plains southwest of South Africa, the people responsible for his extinction were the English who hunted him for sport.The type specimen of the lion was described as very large with black-edged ears and a black mane extending beyond the shoulders and under the belly. It was a predator they ate mainly zebras and antelopes.The accounts abound in testimonies about great lions that came to try to scale the palisades of the European settlements. this lion is currently considered as one of the most beautiful animals that have existed.

I think it is very sad, because it would be great to have more record of this animal, it must be incredible to see one live. With this is evident the stupidity of the human who tries to have everything to his control destroying everything around him and in the most cowardly way. This species lived in peace in its territory and humans ended with their lives. The good news is that there are currently laws that protect the rights of animals. But these beautiful lions are already extinct.

I hope you have liked this beautiful and sad posting.

See you.
