The Barbary Lion is the national emblem of Morocco! It must be in Morocco.

I think it's Les Terres M'Barka, outside of Marrakesh.

The barbary lion (panthera leo leo) was the largest of all the lions and is often considered the National emblem of Morocco.

I have to say this is BS as I've been bidding on this and everytime it's time for the auction to end, you change the clock to read 4m. Nice way to drive up the bid, but not a very honest way of doing business. I won't be playing this game any more. I'd really appreciate an explanation for this.

Pufypaws--if you read the terms of bidding you wouldn't need an explanation:
"How to Bid

It's easy for anyone to place a bid. Just follow these steps.

Once you're a registered Luxury Link member, carefully review the package and its valid travel dates. Make sure you read the Booking Conditions for any applicable restrictions or fees.

Enter your maximum bid in the box on the page and click the Place Bid button. Luxury Link will automatically bid against other bidders on your behalf, all the way up to the maximum amount you entered. (The minimum amount you may enter is indicated just beneath the bid box). The only EXCEPTION to this practice is on our Mystery Auctions. Mystery Auctions do not qualify for automatic bidding - if you receive an outbid notice, you must manually update your bid.

You'll be prompted to enter your credit card information if we don't already have it on file. Remember, each bid you place is a binding agreement, and if you win the Auction you're obligated to purchase the package.

You'll receive an email confirming your bid. If you're the highest bidder at the close of the auction, you will get another email indicating you are the winner, and it will outline the next steps.

In order to allow everyone a chance to place last-minute bids, all auction close times will automatically extend by 5 minutes should a bid be placed within 5 minutes of the set close time. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact us for assistance."

I feel badly for you, puffypaws.

It is embarrassing not to understand all of the rules.

Good luck next time.

Kyshel,
This was actually a recent question on the German TV program on "Who wants to be a Millionair?"
Of course, Wikepedia is always a good source.
