Well,most people think that lions only come from Africa.
And you would be forgiven for thinking this,because in fact most lions do come from Africa. But this hasn't always been the case. If we go back ten thousand years we would find that there were lions roaming vast sections of the globe. But now,unfortunately,only very small sections of the lions' former habitat remain. My particular interest is Asiatic lions,which are a sub-species of African lions. It's almost a hundred thousand years since the Asiatic lions split off and developed as a sub-species. At one time Asiatic lion was living as far west as Greece and they were found from there, in a band that spread east through various countries of the Middle East,all the way to India. In museums, you can now see Greek coins that have clear images of the Asiatic lion on them.
