In 1925, a man flying from Casablanca to Dakar photographed a Barbary Lion in the Atlas Mountains. This photo is special because it's the last known picture of a wild Barbary Lion before they went extinct. This lion, often called the Egyptian Lion, was famous its size and strength. It was the kind of lion that fought gladiators in ancient Rome. They were known for their big, impressive manes, which they probably grew because it's colder in the Atlas Mountains.
