No. Most African populations are still in long decline outside a few well-funded parks. VU is not a rebound band. What did Born Free fix in the public mind? Elsa the lioness (1960 book, 1966 film) made rehabilitation a children story. Field lion work is pride demography and conflict, not a single tame cat.

The Serengeti Lion Project (Packer and successors) produced the long pride dataset that textbooks still mine. 1898 bridge-camp killings were a specific railway-and-drought story. They are a genre, not a base rate. Males take large prey and cubs of rivals. The postcard male-on-a-rock is a coalition politics, not a lazy king.

Lion is one of 24 types in this animals atlas. The pages treat it as a full system -- history, anatomy, operating principles, culture, icons, future pressure and market shape -- not a ranking of a best species. Scores compare the lion with the other 23 types on speed, intelligence, range, resilience, cultural impact and ecological role. They are relative editorial marks. Resilience high means more secure; low means threatened. Vulnerable. African numbers fell through the 20th century; Asiatic lions persist as a single-forest relic in Gir.

The order on the card is year, line, figure. Lion is not sorted by how much visitors like the photo.2013
