You must have come to that conclusion due to little belly fold? Young lions may not have big belly folds mainly lionesses have small belly folds when young... Look at the terrain and the skull... Hair tuft. It is easier to distinguish african "males" and asiatic "males" not females...
RE: Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos - Rishi - 01-29-2019
She is indeed a bit "African" looking. @Sanju Belly-fold can be present in many of them as well...
I too would be confused @Rage2277 if not for the dry Sal leaves in background that screams India.

Sorry I forgot to mention that distinguishing african and Asiatic lion cub is even more difficult...

Any chance you have her confused with this one https://africageographic.com/blog/adorable-sighting-lion-cubs/ ?
Besides the fallen leaves are most definitely of Sal. .
Colouration could just be the hue... because the cub is the one that looks rather fine to me, even has a belly-fold already. Even African lion of different regions look quite different among themselves. At that age they can otherwise be hard to distinguish, many could pass as cubs of each other.

African (no clue from which part) cub that age.

The poster isn't someone who'd help himself with African lion photos from internet & post it as Asiatic lion (that happens quite often, that's the reason i taught myself to differentiate the two). He's regular at Gir & take photos himself.

That lioness is definitely from gir.

RE: Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos - Spalea - 01-30-2019
@Rage2277 :
About #671: agree with what you said about the lions' eyes... More intense eyes as concerns the african lions. The asiatic lions' eyes seem to be more amazed, more curious about what they see. OK, it's perhaps an anthropomorphic opinion, even lyrical, the asiatic lions have a survivor's look, seeming amazed to be always here after several decades of slaughters.
I like very much within the #662 by @Rishi the ninth photo by Samiul Kabir. This lion is beautiful and its look is clearly an asiatic lion's one...
