Answer 5

The lion is a species, and its latin name is 'Panthera leo'. However there are subspecies:
Panthera leo azandica - North East Congo lion.
Panthera leo bleyenberghi - Katanga lion or Southwest African lion. Zimbabwe, Angola, Katanga (Zaire).
Panthera leo europaea - European lion. Extinct around 100 due to persecution and over-exploitation, though may have been Panthera leo persica. Inhabited the Balkans, the Italian Peninsula, southern France and the Iberian Peninsula. It was a very popular object of hunting among Romans, Greeks and Macedonians.
Panthera leo goojratensis - Indian Lion.
Panthera leo hollisteri - Congo lion.
Panthera leo krugeri - South African lion or Southeast African lion. Transvaal.
Panthera leo leo (P.l.berberisca) - Barbary lion; extinct at least in the wild and was believed to be extinct in captivity. This was the largest of the lion subspecies, which ranged from Morocco to Egypt. The last wild Barbary lion was killed in Morocco in 1922 due to excessive hunting. Barbary lions were kept by Roman emperors to take part in the gladiator arenas. Roman notables, including Sulla, Pompey, and Julius Caesar, often ordered the mass slaughter of Barbary lions - up to 400 at a time.
Panthera leo melanochaita - Cape lion; extinct in 1860.
Panthera leo massaicus - Massai lion.
Panthera leo maculatus - Marozi. Status as subspecies is unconfirmed. Distinguishable from other subspecies by its spotted coat. Thought to be extinct since 1931. May have been a natural leopard/lion hybrid.
Panthera leo nubica - East African lion.
Panthera leo persica - Asiatic lion or South Asian lion. 350 currently exist in and near the Gir Forest of India. Once widespread from Turkey, across the Middle East, to Pakistan, India and even Bangladesh, but large prides and daylight activity made it easier to poach than tigers or leopards.
Panthera leo roosevelti - Abyssinian lion.
Panthera leo somaliensis - Somali lion.
Panthera leo senegalensis - West African lion, or Senegal lion. Western Africa.
Panthera leo verneyi - Kalahari lion. Distinct behaviour and anatomy has been observed in this subspecies.
Besides these subspecies there are also some prehistoric ones.
Panthera leo atrox - American Lion or North American cave lion, about 35,000 to 10,000 years ago.
Panthera leo fossilis - Early Middle Pleistocene European cave lion, about 500,000 years ago.
Panthera leo sinhaleyus - Sri Lanka lion or Ceylon lion.
Panthera leo spelaea - European cave lion, Eurasian cave lion or Upper Pleistocene European cave lion (300,000 to 10,000 years ago).
Panthera leo toscana - Tuscany lion - European primitive cave lion, was present around 1.6 million years ago.
Panthera leo vereshchagini - East Siberian or Beringian cave lion
Panthera leo youngi - North-Eastern Pleistocene China cave lion, 350,000 years ago.
