There was a great deal of information added recently, and most of it is pretty good. But it would be great if it could be reformatted and written more like an article.Isaac Crumm 03:50, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

No lions?
That's an impressive list of animals he captured, but not one mention of a lion. Is this correct, and if so do we know any reason why Buck caught tigers and bears but no lions (oh-my!)? It just seems like one of the more obvious things to catch - one of the South Africa "big five" - a creature in many areas of Africa and Asia, and he appears in movies with lions too (e.g. Abbott and Costello's Africa Screams (1949)).--65.0.200.43 (talk) 02:56, 13 August 2010 (UTC)


 * It is likely because the great majority of Buck's collecting expeditions appear to have taken place in the jungles of southeast Asia, where lions are not found. Lions' historic distribution did not extend east of India. He does not appear to have caught any of the other African "big five" either (African elephants, Cape buffalo, African leopards, and white/black rhinoceros), though he did collect Asian varieties of elephants, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos. --IllaZilla (talk) 07:11, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
