Panthera leo nubica
The light brown spots on its abdomen show that this lion is still a juvenile. The lion is the tallest (at the shoulder) of all living cats, averaging about 14 cm (5.5 in) taller than the tiger. Behind only the tiger, the lion is the second largest living felid in length and weight.
