## Caption

An image was released last week of a lioness in the Sena Oura National Park in Chad, where lions hadn’t been seen for nearly 20 YEARS.

A team of conservationists from the Government of Chad and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) released the camera trap image, which was taken at night on Feb. 22.

Resting with her right paw tucked underneath her left arm, the lioness appears healthy, muscular and alert in the image.

The animal sighting is significant because lions have not been seen in Sena Oura National Park in nearly two decades. An assessment by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) had listed the lions as technically extinct in Sena Oura, noted the WCS.
