Lions are definitely present in Alatash National Park and in Dinder National Park. Lion presence in Alatash has not previously been confirmed in meetings at national or international level, considering the relative ease with which lion signs were observed, it is likely that they are resident throughout Alatash and Dinder.

Due to limited surface water, prey densities are low, and lion densities are likely to be low, we may conservatively assume a density in the range of one to two lions per 100 square kilometers( 38.6 square miles).
