This chronology is probably incomplete. It is a list of lions ( as distinct from mountain lions) reported in the United States.
1836 - Sighting in West Virginia
1917 - "Nellie the Lioness" reported in Illinois
1917 - Male lion in West Virginia1868
1948 - Lion at Elkhorn Falls (Indiana)
1959 - Lion in Ohio
1971 - Lion in OhioT
1977 - Lion in Ohio
1978 - Lion in Florida
1984 - Lion in Ohio
1985 - Lion in Texas
1992 - Lion in Ohio
Lions with stripes:
1868 - Striped Lion with mane in California
1986 - Striped Lion with mane in Pennsylvania
This listing does not go beyond 2000, when it was compiled,but I shall seek out some more, if they are there to be sought. With regard to striped maned lions, one was reported from Mexico in 1940.
