Now because unlike rice/wheat or vegetable farms they don't need daily maintenance, those places get less frequently visited by people. With their short leafy trees these mango gardens are cool places, nice and shady, provides cover too. Lions prefer to make their home bases in the grooves and orchards of Greater Gir. They stay, rest, sleep, mate there.

An Asiatic lion aged 13-15 years was found dead in Jasadhar range after being bitten by a venomous snake on the nose.
“Veterinarians observed marks of snakebites on nose of the lion. Further autopsy procedure revealed that the animal had died due to internal bleeding. This established that the lion died due to snake-bite,” Dushyant Vasavada, Chief Conservator of Forests of Junagadh wildlife circle told The Indian Express.“ According to forest officers, snakes of viper wiper family, which spew haemotoxic venom, could have bitten the lion. Russell’s viper, saw-scaled viper are snakes of this family found in Gujarat and their venom, once it enters blood stream of a victim, can cause hamorrhage and can even lead to death. https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/ahmedabad/snakebite-kills-asiatic-lion-in-gir-forest-6347598/ 
I discovered this video 15 minutes ago. Of course I didn't understand anything (except the title in english), but we can see lions and leopards in wild, and we can guess when interactions with human settlements are tackled...
