Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A single male lion living to age 7 in Kenya is worth the most as a tourist attraction. Tourists pay for safaris and game drives to see lions in their natural habitat. A male lion at age 7 is at the prime of its life, so it would be a significant draw for tourists who want to see a mature and impressive lion. Additionally, the value of live lions for conservation is increasingly recognized, which also adds to their worth as a tourist attraction. The other options, such as sporting trophy or specimen killed for its skin, are illegal and unethical in most cases, and the exotic pet trade and selling alive to a zoo are controversial practices with many risks and concerns.
