Saving Nigeria's Lions

As the fake presenter on the old BBC sketch comedy show Monty Python would say, "And now for something completely different".

This post is about lions. This interesting report from Daily Trust tells of people who are trying to save what few lions left roaming the small and ever-shrinking geographic slice of our federal republic that can still be called "wilderness". The species has disappeared from three of five locations, and there are only 50 adult lions left in those two remaining locations (Kainji Lake National Park, and Yankari Game Reserve).
