The Barbary lion , also called the North African lion ,[1] Atlas lion ,[2] and Egyptian lion ,[3] is an extinct population of the lion subspecies Panthera leo leo .

No it doesn’t. Panthera leo leo is the same subspecies as all other African lions; the Barabary lion is a distinct population.
You literally quoted him not contradicting his earlier post and said that he did.
No I didn’t, I said they appeared to. I’m not a lion expert. This side discussion is about Barbary Lions being extinct.

It’s pedantic and not germane to the issue of of whether the population known as Barbary Lions are extinct - they are.
I did not read it that way, at all. He pointed out that the Barbary Lion is a population and not a species but I didn’t see anything challenging it being extinct, particularly since he said:

Progress, but no indication of when they expect success:
Kangaroos you’re being put on notice!!!
Welcome to Holocene Park!
What could possibly go wrong?
If it’s in a movie, it’s required that something go wrong. If not the thylacine, then something to do with Smilodon or Aenocyon dirus.
Lycanthropic marsupial smuggling rings.
Band name.
They’rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre great!
