What is lion in iran?

Lions used to be common in Iran in the past, but today they are an extremely rare sight. The main reason for their decline is habitat loss and hunting by humans. The Iranian lion, also known as the Asiatic lion, is a subspecies of lion that is native to the Iranian plateau. They have a lighter mane compared to African lions and are smaller in size. The last confirmed sighting of an Iranian lion in the wild was in 1942. However, there are conservation efforts underway to reintroduce lions in Iran from captive populations. The Persian lion has also been an important symbol in Iranian mythology and culture, and is depicted in many historical monuments and artwork.
