Apparently these are the breed of Lions the ancient Roman's used in the gladatorial arenas. I post processed in Photoshop because of the heavy wire around him in the background. I took this photo at Port Lympne Wildlife Park in Kent, England, Port Lympne Wildlife Park is renowned for their successful breeding programs of rare animals outside of their natural home country. .....
