Gir Wildlife Sanctuary - The Last Hub Of The Asiatic Lions

From Gujarat's splendid wildlife reserves that are quite out of the ordinary and the most amazing one is the Gir National Park, where the last surviving population of the Asiatic lion is to be found. Being a major wildlife conservation hub of India, Gir is a refuge of more than 300 lions.

Popularly known as Sasangir, Gir national park and sanctuary is blessed with some of the most diverse wild attractions and natural surroundings. The Lion safari park has a rugged terrain and the steep rocky hillsides are covered in mixed deciduous forests. Gir is also rich with other wild animals such as Leopards, Chital, Nilgai, Chinkara, Four Horned Antelope and wild Boar.

The prey animals at Gir are generally smaller in Gir than they are in Africa, and hunting groups tend to be smaller as well. The Gir Lions themselves arent as big as African lions, and they have shorter manes and a long fold of skin on their undersides that many lions in Africa dont have.
