Lion - smart, strong and very dangerous predator, storm deserts and savannah.It is a beautiful and proud animal many of us associate with the king of the beasts, which brings all the fear, but he is afraid of nobody.We used to see these large, muscular cats with red mane and golden hair, but recently there are more and more pictures with dark animals.Black Lion looks strange, so many people are interested: it's a real beast or craftsmanship Photoshop?
Do not think that in their natural habitat, there are only young and old lion with a reddish color, in savannas is often possible to meet with the former predator mane and skin, also has a cat with beige hair and blue eyes.Nature sometimes rewards animal most unimaginable colors and shades.All this is due to genetic mutations.If there leutsisty and albinos, then why can not be such thing as a black lion?
albinism opposed melanism, so it is likely that there may be both white and dark animals.Scientists from different countries together deny the fact that there is a black lion.According to them, it is impossible not to at the genetic level, but in terms of survival.Specialists mutations explain that dark-colored individuals not survive even during evolution, so now you can not even hope that there will be a dark lion.Even if we assume that he will be born in the wild, most of all, the animal will not survive.
Black Lion suffering from disorders of thermoregulation, he lowered immunity, and when hunting there are some difficulties.If an animal born in captivity, the people will help him to survive, but in their natural habitat had almost no chance.Despite the fact that scientists have detailed answers to questions, expressing their own point of view, yet many people are asking: "Are there any black lions?"and "Where you can see them?".
cryptozoology do not agree with the researchers, they believe that the dark specimens can still be found in the wild.In support of their point of view, there were reports from the African continent, namely the area Okovango, and from Persia that it had seen the black lions.Both territories are similar in one thing - they are covered with stunted trees and shrubs.This landscape allows predators with dark hair shelter from the scorching sun and hide when hunting.
Okovango found in a dark pride of lions, but they can not be called black.From the usual big cats are distinguished by a dark brown color.Scientists do not recognize that it is a consequence of melanism and converge on the idea of inbreeding.This color was fixed because predators inhabit the forest.
Black Lion today is a dream cryptozoologists.They believe that the dark individuals are in the African bush or savannah, but find them no one can.If left-melanistic found, the researchers it was easier to study the evolution of species.Scientists can only hope that the black miracle ever born at the zoo.
