Cartoon Lions • Re: Cute Cartoon Lions Merchandise by Cheerful Madness!! at Zazzle

According to Wikipedia (which isn't a particularly reliable source of information IMHO) there is more than 1000 African Lions and 100 Asiatic lions kept in zoos and wildlife parks across the world. They don't seem to take into account performing animals in circuses. The number of lions in the wild has been estimated between 16,000 and 47,000, bearing in mind the animals are subsisting in fragmented populations isolated from each other. This situation is causing inbreeding and less genetic diversity and make lions more prone to disease >_<
