Title: Lions in South Africa Pressured by TB Outbreak, Hunters Post by: Orstio on October 02, 2005, 10:54:34 AM Attacks by African lions on people and livestock have been in the news lately, but on the whole humans present a much greater threat to Africa's lions than the lions do to humans.
South Africa's free-ranging lion population, an estimated 2,700 animals living mostly in the ecosystem surrounding Kruger National Park in the northeast corner of the country, is among those at risk. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/09/0930_050930_lions_tb.html |
