West African lion

[Mikmuscle]

Can you change West African lion to African lion as it’s common name with next update? Because the West African lion have Panthera Leo as scientific name and have African lion distribution map.

There are two subspecies

Northern lion (Panthera leo leo)
Southern lion (Panthera leo melanochaita)

I'd pick either or but I'd personally go for the Southern one

I would pick southern one or central/northeast one

All things considered, relabeling it Southern African Lion (Panthera leo melanochaita) would make the most sense. Of the various former subspecies, the in-game model more closely resembles the southern ones, not the north...

Based on this picture, the Southern lions all look fairly similar to one-another, while the Northern lions are all fairly distinct...
