According to this account, there were only a twenty lions in 1913.

Your source says

Thereafter, intense efforts were taken to control this dwindling population. The first organized census on the lion population in Gir was carried out in 1936. It revealed the number of lions to be around 287. 

==========================

Hope you know the difference b/w organized census vs guess numbers. 

BTW i'm not blaming you, i know you are not born in 1910 and not counted Asiatic lions, you also got this figure (12) from some other source which is doubtful.   Reply
