Lion (Panthera leo)
Historically, the Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica) roamed across vast stretches of the Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula, holding a powerful place in ancient Semitic, Mesopotamian, and South Arabian folklore. While wild lion populations became extinct in the region centuries ago due to habitat changes and hunting, the lion remained an enduring cultural symbol of courage, sovereignty, and noble strength in regional literature and heraldry. Issued in the mid-1960s as part of the country's topical wildlife and fauna issues, this commemorative postage stamp features the Lion. The design highlights the regal presence and distinctive mane of the apex predator, honoring its historical presence in regional lore and the broader celebration of international wildlife heritage.
