Asiatic Lion Reintroduction Project

[Ravisingh]

one more thing . i read something on this thread that says "look at the size of asiatic lions they are so small .it certainly means they are not adapted to indian habitat like tigers they do not grow to their full potential and it means they are not native here". ....... can any wildlife enthusiast think this sort of crap.
dear friend are you trying to say that tigers of sunderbans in india and bangladesh which are even smaller than asiatic lions and very much smaller than tigers of other parts of india are not native to sunderbans which have higest tiger population in the world in a single streach of forest.(note i m talking about a tiger population within center of other tiger populations which are huge in sizes in adjoining regions of assam and trai.
this small size is due to small prey size that is chital and humans.not more than five hundred kilometers from sunderbans u will see biggest tigers in the world which are as big as siberian tiger and cetainly defeat siberians tigers on averages coz there are huge prey like water bufflao,elephant and indian rhino.
and asiatic lions are far far away from african lions .they pery on small antilopes in small prides even a single lion for every prey type in gir is enough to hunt.
always remember survival of fittest " a very small group of not very huge lions is fittest for survival in gir" ...............size dosenot mean u are not a native . most indians are sorter than europeans would u say they are not natives of india.
they came naturally to india as lions and adapted accordingly Reply
