Lions, Tigers and what's left.....
FYI...per this months National Geographic....there were 450,000 Lions on the planet Earth in the 1950's, today there are only 20,000 Lions left. So don't be surprised if 30 years from now, your grandchildren watch The Lion King and wind up asking you "Hey grandpa did you ever see a real Lion?" Care to guess how many Tigers there are? Answer 4,000. Which if I guesstimate, that would mean there's just about none left in the wild, they all must be in zoo's at this point. This is terrible. We're destroying everything.
