What a tough and risky job that would have been, because 2 sub-adult lions allegedly attacked and killed a 17-year-old tribal girl outside her cottage on an agricultural field in Dhanfuliya Village of Vanthali Taluka of Junagadh District, when she stepped out on Monday night, forest officers said: https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/ahmedabad/junagadh-two-lions-kill-17-year-old-girl-7115268/

Likewise in early February, a 5-year-old son of agricultural labourers was reportedly killed by a lioness in Uchaiya Village of Rajula Taluka in Amreli District, in the wee hours of Tuesday: https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/ahmedabad/5-year-old-boy-killedlion-attack-gujarat-district-6251915/

[/color]??? ???? ?????! This was our first safari in Gir on 25th Nov'20 & our expert guide @sindhavjitu said lets go for the brothers who have just entered in last 3 days. We rushed to the point & saw one brother guarding the kill from crows & later he just came & sat on the road waiting for his brother to come to him! But, since it was late, we had to leave him & take an alternative route! Place - Sasan Gir

As per the information, the video was recorded at Dron village of Gir Gadhda taluka in Gir Somnath district. The man standing on the embankment is booked under the Wildlife Protection Act.

@Rishi 

That lion sure told them off, it is a good reminder to the people that these lions are wild and not to get too cavalier .


RE: Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos - Lycaon - 12-29-2020

Now for a more relaxing video , the ambardi male with his cub.

Rajkot to regain its roaring glory

RAJKOT: In all likelihood, Rajkot could join the list of Gujarat districts which Asiatic lions have made their permanent abode.
In the last one year, four different prides have ventured into the district, mostly from adjoining Amreli; the latest one of a lioness and two sub-adults that are sauntering on the city’s outskirts.

The phenomenon of back and forth movement, experts say, clearly shows the strong possibility of lions establishing their permanent settlement somewhere in Rajkot.
Bhavnagar is the biggest example of such a phenomenon. A decade ago, small prides of lions that ventured out of Gir were intermittently spotted in the district. However, nearly 76 lions have made a permanent home in various parts of Bhavnagar, including its coastal areas.

Priyvrat Gadhvi, a wildlife expert, said the felines are regaining their lost territory. “In the past, the lions were seen in Rajkot and this dispersal is an encouraging sign.”

Books detailing the history of Rajkot and Saurashtra mention that a considerable population of lions thrived in forested areas of the district nearly a century ago.
The lioness and two sub-adults seen near Aji dam ventured here from Dhari in Amreli district and have been camping in the villages adjoining Rajkot city for nearly a month now.

According to forest officials, there are three routes that lions are using to reach Rajkot. One is from Girnar to Gondal, another from Bagasara to Gondal villages and third from Babra to Jasdan and Vinchhiya.
Since November 2019, three other prides have been recorded in the district and their killings along with pug marks were found.

This video is to give everyone an idea what Kuno is like. There are currently AT LEAST 6 tigers here which is a problem along with the corridor connecting to Ranthambore. Asiatic lions in a denser forest would be fascinating to see.

Kuno is denser than Gir with lot more trees, so I don’t see why reintroduction of Asiatic cheetahs are getting pushed here. Looks a lot like Bandhavgarh, actually.







RE: Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos - Sanju - 12-30-2020

@Ashutosh It's only for few months tho.. Most of the time it remains dry decidous. It is a combination dry savanna forest and grassland as well as tropical riverine forest. It is a huge 750 km2 NP, only a tiny fraction of habitat covering few hectares was captured in the footage through drone view.

Kuno was suggested as suitable location after many thorough survey reports by wildlife board teams over the years.

If I can recall correctly, I posted bunch of kuno pictures in previous pages. Right? @Rishi

Kuno looks to have incredible potential. Reminds me a bit of the forested parts of the serengeti, the trees standing alone without too much vegetation underneath. Definitely looks to be a good place for lions, though I agree I dont see quite where cheetahs fit in this landscape.
