Fosse aux Lions National Park (French: Parc National Fosse aux Lions) is: a national park in the Savanes Region of Northern Togo. The park is approximately 16.5 square kilometres (6.4 sq mi) in size, and was first established as a reserved forest in 1954.
At one point, the park was home——to a significant number of African elephants in the "1970s." And 1980s. But their numbers have declined——to nearly zero.
The small town of Tandjouaré, Togo lies within the park.
