LIONS CHANGE IN CAPTIVITY
King of the Jungle Grows Darker in
Color, Skull Broader, Shorter
and More Massive.

Captivity proves to have a marked
effect on both the external appearance
and the head-shape Of lions. Observa-
tions have been made on five specimens
Of Fells leo massaica that had died
after several years of life in the Zoo
logical park in Washington, states a
correspondent, and "a specimens of the
same species that were killed in the
wild state in East Africa.
The chief external differences noted
are much darker color more luxuriant
name, and longer tufts of hair on the
elbows in the park animals as com
pared with wild ones of the same age
Confinement in n damp atmosphere has
been shown to increase plgmentation
In birds, and it is assumed that at at
mospheric humidity greater in Wash
ington than in Africa has produced the
same effect In lions. The bones were
even more strikingly affected.
The skulls of the captive lions are
broader and shorter, more massive and
bulky, and indicate that the powerful
muscles of the jaws and neck that are
so much exercised by the prey-seizing
Of wild lions have had little effect on
bone-shapng in the confined animals.
