Comment: Probably more an observation about the distribution map showing Lions in Europe by default.  Most people expect a reasonable current range as the default view

Interesting to see that all the first records in Europe are actual preserved specimens:
http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?HAS_GEOSPATIAL_ISSUE=false&GEOMETRY=-17.40%2038.69%2C-17.40%2060.76%2C37.71%2060.76%2C37.71%2038.69%2C-17.40%2038.69&TAXON_KEY=5219404

E.g. http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/235039627/verbatim and http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/440649123/verbatim

Impossible to tell that they were preserved from lions in zoos. Some work for the content team to promote the use of establishment means?
