This is kind of a Pepper's Ghost effect on the lion enclosure at the Texas Zoo. I thought it was funny.
This is also alleged to be a Barbary lion. If you know anything about them, you know that they are considered extinct in their natural habitat in West Africa. They are also believed to be extinct in the zoological setting, though some individuals can be traced to a Barbary lion ancestor and share characteristics with wild Barbary lions because of hybridization with sub-Saharan lions.
