Work on Cape Lions featuring indigenous perspectives offers valuable insights into the species' life histories: Once roaming the Cape Flats, these lions faced eradication post-European colonization. See the paper here: doi.org/10.1093/jher...extinctanimals.org 1/2
Genomic data from historic Cape lions reveals diverse genomes that align with lions from southern and eastern Africa. High heterozygosity and low inbreeding coefficients suggest a rapid extinction, masking long-term effects. More info here: malhilaboratory.web.... #mammals 2/2
