Range map including proposed clades and the two subspecies (P. l. leo and P. l. melanochaita) according to genetic research. Since the beginning of the 21st century, several phylogenetic studies were conducted to aid clarifying the taxonomic status of lion samples kept in museums and collected in the wild. Scientists analysed between 32 and 480 ...

The sea lions have six extant and one extinct species (the Japanese sea lion) in five genera. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the notable exception of the northern Atlantic Ocean. [1] They have an average lifespan of 20–30 years. [2]
The American lion (Panthera atrox (/ ˈ p æ n θ ər ə ˈ æ t r ɒ k s /), with the species name meaning "savage" or "cruel", also called the North American lion) is an extinct pantherine cat native to North America during the Late Pleistocene from around 130,000 to 12,800 years ago.
