## History

Barbari Atlas is shown to be a member of Team EX, a group of animals at Private Darwin Academy intent on avenging humans for pushing their species to extinction. One of their members, Anne Anetani, a Neanderthal girl, visits Seton Academy, pretending to be a student interested in joining, but really is spying for Team EX, to track down the humans she had heard were in the school, in plans to eliminate them from society. This is an easier task for her due to the fact that she has a very human-like appearance, so can fit amongst humans better, After she arrives back from her mission, she speaks to rest of her Team EX members, on her human findings, and assures the group that they still have a chance of eliminating the humans at the school, Jin Mazama and Hitomi Hino.

In episode 11, he and three other Team EX members, Ando, Yangyang, and Washima, together visit Seton Academy, and find that there is a school fair, free for anyone to participate in. They are warmly greeted by two cow girls, but are still focused on their mission of finding the human students and finishing them off. During the visit, Atlas is looking around the school and manages to find Jin, the human boy, he grabs him and threatens to end his life, however King Shishino and Shiho, chime in to save Jin's life and protect him, Atlas, is angry that a fellow Lion is helping to save a human, after how he believed they killed out his subspecies of lion and laughs at the fact that Shishino is dating an impala, Shiho speaks up for her boyfriend King after he was insulted, when she finishes Atlas knocks her to the ground, this angers King so much that he grows back his mane instantaneously and is intent on fighting Atlas. As the two are about to fight, Jin tells Atlas that Barbary Lions, did not become extinct. This calms Atlas down, but also distracted him as he is punched into the sky by King Shishino. After Shiho, Jin and King enquire, he tells them that Anne had come to kidnap Hitomi, as per their mission.

## Trivia

* The Barbary Lion, is a subspecies of Lion, native to Africa, which in the past also used to live in Turkey and the Middle East, before they were seemingly eradicated. It was believed that the last Barbary Lion was shot dead in 1922, however scientists would find later find a group of living Barbary Lions in the wild. While they are officially extinct in the wild, they are now kept and bred in Zoos across the world.

* Interestingly like all the other members of Team EX, his eyes don't sparkle, as the other animals do. This may allude to the fact that many of them are considered to be extinct, thus having “lifeless“ eyes.
