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.

Seems like at any point of time, the Gir harbours atleast a hundred lionlings.
If 100 more new cubs were spotted AFTER May2015 census, that means by the upcoming one due at distant 2019, then comparing with previous increments..we are expecting the new numbers to be as high as 650+!!!!!!!!!!  Laughing

But then...
1500 sq.kms of Protected Area presently houses 300+ lions. Rest are unevenly spreaded over this range.

 However, already lions' transfer to Barda Wildlife Sanctuary is under full swing & Rampura Wildlife Sanctuary was being evaluated as the next one..no updates yet.

Greater Gir consists of some forested hillocks..but mosly barren wastelands & fallow farmlands.
