Barbary lion P. l. leo — inhabited mountain ranges of the Sahara and coastal regions of Maghreb from Morocco to Egypt.^[3]
West African lion, formerly P. l. senegalensis (Meyer 1826) — persists in small disconnected subpopulations in West Africa.^[4]
Central African lion, formerly P. l. kamptzi (Matschie 1900) — inhabits the Sahel region north of the African rainforest belt.^[5]
Asiatic lion, formerly P. l. persica (Meyer 1826) — occurred in Turkey and the Middle East until the mid-20th century.^[6]^[7]^[8] Today, it survives only in Gir Forest National Park and surrounding areas in India's state of Gujarat.^[9]
