How are Indian and African lions different?

African and Indian lions belong to the same species Panthera leo. However, they belong to different sub-species. The most striking morphological character always seen in Asiatic lions is a longitudinal fold of skin running along their belly. This fold of skin is rarely seen in African lions.
