Asiatic lion
The Asiatic lion is smaller than the African lion. The male Asiatic lion is slightly bigger than the female. The maximum recorded length of a male Asiatic lion in the Gir National Park is 115 inches (from head to tail). Like African lions, the males also have a mane at the top of their heads but the growth is shorter, making it possible to see the ears. The Asiatic lion’s tail tuft is larger than the African lion. A feature common in the species but absent in their African counterparts is the fold of skin on the belly.
