The Near Future: African Lions Extinct
The African lion population has recently suffered a tremendous loss, and is on the verge of being extinct. A recent report says there are 400 or less of these lions left in the West African region. With only a little more than half of them at a breeding age, the entire population could disappear. These lions are also living on land that is only about one percent of the size of their old range.
