The domestic lion (Panthera leo familiaris) is a subspecies of lion (Panthera leo) in the family Felidae that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii due to demands for more variety of large pets. The domestic lion, like its wild ancestors, has a muscular, deep-chested body, short, rounded head, round ears, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. It is sexually dimorphic; adult lions have a prominent mane, usually males, although females of some breeds also have manes. The typical head-to-body length of a domestic lion is usually between 127 cm (4 ft 2 in) and 142 cm (4 ft 8 in) in body size with a 76 cm (2 ft 6 in) to 91 cm (3 ft) long tail and weigh between 40 and 90 kg (88 and 198 lb), much smaller than the wild lions. Like its wild ancestors, it is a social species, so it usually bonds with its own kind and/or with human owners. The fur length, density, and color depends on a breed, ranging from short-furred to long-fur, thin layers of fur to thick layers of fur, and comes in tans, browns, yellowish-tan, orangish-brown, blacks, greys, and whites. The domestic lions do not hunt people nor other domestic animals, unlike their wild counterparts, due to being genetically engineered and selectively bred to not hunt any humans or domesticated animals, making them suitable as pets, guide animals, and livestock-protecting animals. The domestic lion is one of the most popular large mammalian pets (re)created by SciiFii, due to the lions being popular and familiar to many people and the domestic lions being very easy to keep, care, and breed, unlike their wild ancestors.
