Some googling around to various sites it appears that the costume was made from both lion pelt(s) and human hair. In order to match colors on the entirety of the costume, various pieces were stitched together. Due to color variations and scarring I would imagine it would be difficult to find a perfect one off to make the costume out of. I can't find anywhere that says a lion, or lions, was/were killed and skinned solely to make a costume to fit Mr. Lahr.
The movie was made 80 years ago. Today a costume could be made that would look better than the real thing used when the movie was made.
Wait - why is this an issue? ...now?
