The Congo Lion (Panthera leo leo, formerly Panthera leo azandica) is a lion population found in the Northeast Congo and Uganda. It is an adoptable animal in Zoo Tycoon (Xbox).

Description[]

The Congo Lion also known as the Northeast Congo Lion or Uganda Lion is a population of Northern Lion living in the northeastern grasslands of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in parts of Uganda, though it once also lived in the Northeast Congo Tropical Rainforests as well but is now locally extinct. The Congo lion is very difficult to distinguish from other lions, some say that they do not differ from other lions at all. It is unknown as to how many lions within this population exist in the wild; the Congo lion is also not present in captivity.
