There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

SEE TILL THE END.

The Asiatic lion was first described by the Austrian zoologist Johann N. Meyer under the trinomen Felis leo persicus.

In 2017, the Asiatic lion was subsumed to Panthera leo leo due to close morphological and molecular genetic similarities with Barbary, west and central lion specimens.

Its historical range included eastern Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Mesopotamia, and from east of the Indus River in the former Sind Province to Bengal and Narmada River in Central India.

The Asiatic lion used to live in Eastern Europe (south), West, Central and South Asia in historic times.

It also occurred in Arabia, Palestine, Mesopotamia (Iraq) and Baluchistan (Pakistan). Heavy hunting by British colonial officers and Indian rulers led to a steady and marked decline of lion numbers in India.
  • Lions were exterminated in Palamau by 1814, in Baroda, Hariana and Ahmedabad district in the 1830s, in Kot Diji and Damoh in the 1840s.
  • During the Indian Rebellion of 1857, a British officer shot 300 lions.
  • The last lions of Gwalior and Rewah were shot in the 1860s.
  • One lion was killed near Allahabad in 1866.
  • The last lion of Mount Abu in Rajasthan was spotted in 1872.
  • By the late 1870s, lions were extinct in Rajastan.
  • By 1880, no lion survived in Guna, Deesa and Palanpur, and
  • Only about a dozen lions were left in Junagadh district.

This documentary film Lion and the Lion heart is the story of a brave hearted tribe called Maldharis, dwelling in the middle of Gir Forest of Gujarat, the only habitat of Asiatic Lions. And also captured in the film, is some rare and exclusive footage of a pack of Lion, up close and personal, adding to the spectators delight.

What bonds them so well with the forest? What makes them treat the lions like pets? And not to forget the lions, staring at you from a few feet away. Hold your heart. thanks

The female does have a typical Asiatic-y face compared to the male, especially the muzzle. It's so, so unfortunate that they interbred these & ruined their genetic purity.

Even though belonging to the same genetic clade as Gir lions, they would have possessed unique local traits.
Egyptian god Sekhmet looks like an Asiatic too. I guess this sculpture was based on Barbary lions of Sinai-Egypt that shared genes with Asiatics from Middle East.
