| Created to protect the last wild population of Lion
outside the African regions, Gir National Park is situated in the southwest
of the peninsular state of Gujarat. Spread over an area of 116 square-miles,
the Gir sanctuary has been home to lions since 1913 when the Lion population
over here fell drastically to just 20 animals. Due to conservation efforts
by the government, the the number has now increased to around 300. The Asiatic lion is slightly smaller than its African cousin is and its mane is also smaller. In India the lion population is spread across the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. But Gir is not just about Lions, the second most commonly found predator in the Gir is Leopard. Infact, Gir National Park is also home to one of the largest Leopard populations in any park in India, and especially in the hotter season they can sometimes be seen at night close to the lodges.
