A reproduction print from Lloyd's Natural History: A Hand-Book to the Carnivora, Part I. Cats, Civets, and Mungooses; by Richard Lydekker, 1896. "Distinguished from all other members of the Family by the presence of a massive mane, of variable length. Distribution.- At the present day, Africa from Algeria to the Cape; Mesopotamia, on the west flanks of the Zagros Range; Persia, south of Shiraz, but not on the tableland; India. Distinguished from the majority of the members of the Cat tribe by its inability to climb, the Lion is essentially a noisy animal, its well known roar being in undisturbed districts frequently uttered at intervals, from early evening, throughout the night."<br> <br> The images are reproduced here from very high resolution files, so you can be confident that the quality will remain the best. <br> <br> Image courtesy of OldBookArt.com.
