No, because humans arbitrarily consider the fucking Asian lion to be a sub-species de kang layen.

No, no there isn't.

>African and Asiatic lions can have healthy fertile offspring
Do you have any evidence for this claim? All evidence points to the opposite, which kind of undermines your point.

Did you read the article? Nothing in there suggests the offspring is healthy.

Why do you care? Terms such as race and subspecies historically have been used more or less arbitrarily and things are being reclassified constantly.

The lions are the same species as well. Species and subspecies are different taxonomic ranks.
