Marozi lion

So this is a new mutation idea i had.
The marozi lion is a smallers then a regular lion and has little mane and covered in spots.
It was variously theorized by zoologists of the time to be a distinct race of lion, an adult lion that retained its juvenile spots, or an entirely distinct species of feline.
Although some believe it to be a leopon there is no proof on any of the matters for what it really is.

Though there were local East African legends of spotted lions, the first sighting was documented by westerners from Colonel Richard Meinertzhagen in 1903, who discussed seeing dark lions with rosette-like markings in the mountains of Kenya. Meinertzhagen had previously heard of the spotted lions, but it was likely dismissed as a native myth.

They have most commonly been sited at around an elevation of roughly 10,000 feet. As they have only ever been sited in mountain environments its unknown if its a sub species or not.

How would it work in game??
Well it would be the first male AMP in game. It would cover both lions and lionesses.
It would be a mutation and sit ontop of the markings as how piebald and patches mutations do. Reason for being an AMP (like previously stated) they possibly are juvenile spots that never faded with age.

But yeah let me know what you think of this:]

(Im still doing research on it but there isnt much known but im trying my best )

*also tell me why or why not you dont support! Im curious to see the kind of mutie ideas people want as i have a whole list of them!!*

Hmm, I'm kinda on the fence with this. Overall this sounds like it would be better as a marking suggestion (I know we already have a marozi marking, but I haven't seen anybody who likes it. I wish we could get an improved version of it).

I've read a little bit about them before and I rather share the opinion these might be some sort of (extinct?) subspecies/clade called Panthera leo maculatus and are just are more adapted to life in a mountainous region.
Other still living subspecies Panthera leo melanochaita (East/South Africa) or Panthera leo leo (North Africa/Asia) are proven to be genetically different and are such divided in subspecies. If the marozi lion is at some point also proven to be genetically different from these 2, I'm not sure if it can be called a mutation, but rather a subspecies.

For now, I don't think this would be enough for it to be a mutation (or a primal variant if it proves to be extinct). At least in my opinion.

But as a marking suggestion I would support. I'm not gong to vote, but thank you for sharing this suggestion, it was very informative.

Thanks for your opinion and I've done some more reading and I'll link a few more articles and add on to this and yes that's why I thought maybe as a mut people would like it more and become more aware of how many different variants of lion types there are as these lions do shows different builds to African and Barbary lions.
That's also the main reasons I didn't recommend it to be an edited marking of what we already have as I think that would be pointless.
Also I belive one has been sighted in the past 10 years? I might be wrong about that though:]

Honestly, I don't know. As you said, this would be the first Lioden AMP, and if you check out Xylax's Thread of Masterpost Mutations they don't actually have any male AMPs they plan to introduce. I haven't supported neither non supported and these animals are purely speculation as there are no *real* sightings, if you understand what I mean. And maybe you could make an idea? It might help portray what people think of it? I'm sorry my wording is not the best

Hi, just wondering why you have art of my king (Varn) at the top of this suggestion? He is a personal character of mine, and the custom decor was commissioned by me with real money - I would prefer if others don't use it as their own for forum decor as such.

Hi Katie I'm so sorry!! I haven't been online in awhile and I didn't realise. I just thought it was game art, I'm happy to remove it if you'd like?
Have a lovely day😊
