This is widely believed to be the last ever photo taken of a Barbary Lion (a species now extinct). The picture was taken from on board a Casablanca-Dacar flight in 1925. Barbary Lions were among the largest lions ever, and were famously used for entertainment/fights in Gladiator Arenas. [850×514]
Barbary Lions were native to North African mountains. Also known as Atlas lions or Berber lions, these could grow up to 9-10 feet in length and weigh over 600lbs. Some accounts say that they were sighted in the mid-60s in Morocco, but nothing after that. The species is now confirmed to be extinct. It’s our collective shame how hunting and poaching obliterated something [as pretty as this](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sultan_the_Barbary_Lion.jpg)
