Lions in the Ngorongoro Conservation area.
In the 1960s, the population of lions in the Ngorongoro had declined a lot fur to the floods the happened then. It is said that about 9 female lions and one male survived this ordeal. By the end of 1965, there were other 7 males that had come to the Ngorongoro conservation area. This boosted the efforts to improve the population of these animals. By the year 1975, there were over 100 lions that live only inside the Ngorongoro crater. There about 60 lions in the crater today. The decrease in number is due to the steep slopes of the crater that deter the lions come here and boost reproduction. Lions are also killed by the locals that graze their animals here. There have been several conflicts between the two.
