Description
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Felidae
Genus: Panthera
Species: P. leo
The lion (Panthera leo) is a member of the family Felidae and one of four big cats in the genus Panthera. With exceptionally large males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in northwest India, having disappeared from North Africa, the Middle East, and Western Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene (about 10,000 years ago), the lion was the most widespread large land mammal beside humans. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India and, in the Americas, from the Yukon to Peru.

Ich finde die Tierfotos in der letzten Zeit alle sehr gut. Sorry - aber mir gefällt die Nachbearbeitung nicht. Ich glaub die Wasserwellenbewegung im Original muß fantastisch aussehen, aber mit der Nachbearbeitung wird sie irgendwie pixelig. I think the animal photos in the recent past are all very good. Sorry - but I do not like the postwork. I think the water wave motion in the original must look fantastic, but with the postwork, it will somehow pixilated.
