A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Wade, it's a shame to think that they are still breeding hybrids, in light of the need for conservation and the fact that hybrids serve no purpose.

Does anybody know who this is? Circus or non related? Or any recent reports in the last 10-15 years of lion leopard hybrids that have been missed? How about it resident lion expert Jim Stockley. Are spots like this common on an apparently mature lioness? I looked at this picture for 2 weeks before I posted it, and I can't tell.

from Jim Stockley:
Hello Wade,
I'm going to have to decline your kind offer of the epithet "expert". If there is one thing I HAVE learned, it's how little I really know about anything ;-)
I have seen a few lions keep this many spots right into early adulthood. It would be nice to see more pictures of this animal in natural sunlight. Is this a recent picture? My wife thinks she saw a similar animal in Paris earlier in the year.
very best
Jim
