The lions that figure in the stories off the Bible and ranged through Persia

Peninsula in Western India.
Called the Asiatic Lion, little more than two hundred of these magnificent
animals survive in the 300 sq. km. Of Gir National Park. Their numbers
have recouped from about 20 in 1913 to present level after the Nawabs
of Junagarh initiated conservation measures.

here than elsewhere. Also to be seen are Samber, Chital, Chinkara, Chousingha,
Nilgai and wild boar.
