Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos

[Wolverine]

Huge lion drinking water, surrounded by singing birds.

Gir forest has not only largest population of big cats in the subcontinent, but probably also the largest variety of birds. I was shocked to see that there are arias in the forest where you can see a peacock almost on every single tree... astronomical quantity of peacocks, basically I would call Gir "the forest of the peafowls".

Every evening with descending of the darkness forest is echo-ing from the voices of hundreds if not thousand of birds miles around: "miau meau meau". Like a fairytale.

I would recommend to all fans of Asiatic lion to read the book "Gir forest and Saga of the Asiatic lion" (2006), by Sudipta Mitra, already red it last year, order from Amazon:

As long as I know that's one of the very few books if not the only book published yet entirely dedicated to Indian lion. Reply
