"Tower Lions" May Help Resurrect Extinct African Breed?: "An extinct breed of lion from North Africa was held at the Tower of London in medieval times, a new study shows.
A pair of skulls unearthed from the tower's moat in the 1930s belonged to Barbary lions, a subspecies that has since died out in the wild.
The discovery raises the possibility that descendants of Barbary lions may still survive in captivity, which could help efforts to resurrect the dark-maned breed, researchers say."
