Is the Nubian lion Panthera leo leo or Panthera leo nubicus?
editAccording to Haas et al. (2005),[1] the lion from Nubia is called P. l. nubicus, and they equate it with the East African lion, rather than the North African lion. However, since Nubia stretches from Egypt (and the ancient Egyptian lion[2] is considered to have been a population of the North African lion) to what used to be considered as the northern part of Sudan, what is your consensus on this?

Nubian lion versus Egyptian lion

editBarbary lion versus East African lion
editIf the term Nubian lion was used exclusively for the Barbary lion of North Africa, then we would not have references like this[1] treating it as a name for the extant East African lion, or media like Perils of the Jungle (1953 film) or these[2][3] treating it as being separate from the iconic Barbary lion, so it would make sense for people who do not understand this object to say that is is a subpopulation of the Northeast African lion which was also treated as a subpopulation of the North and East African lions.
