| The Lion in Gabon: Historical Records and Notes on Current Status | |
| 2006 Cat News (44): 10-12 | |
Little is known about the historical distribution of lions _Panthera leo_ in Gabon, and until recently it was unclear if lions still existed in the equatorial country. In this article, I provide a summary of available historical reports from many sources, including some records not previously published. I also collate recent (since 1995) reports of lions in Gabon including fresh evidence that the species might still be extant in the Bat‚k‚ Plateau region in south-eastern Gabon. |
