Most of the people in the world think that lions are only found in the African Continent. People haven't been misleading in this regard, the truth is that there aren't much lions left in the rest of the world.

About 10, 000 years ago lions spanned vast sections of the globe, but as the human population started to increase, trees were cutted down and forests were cleared to make more land for people to live in .

From Gujarat's splendid wildlife reserves that are quite out of the ordinary and the most amazing one is the Gir National Park, where the last surviving population of the Asiatic lion is to be found. Being a major wildlife conservation hub of India , Gir is a refuge of more than 300 lions.

The prey animals at Gir are generally smaller in Gir than they are in Africa , and hunting groups tend to be smaller as well. The Gir Lions themselves aren't as big as African lions, and they have shorter manes and a long fold of skin on their undersides that many lions in Africa don't have.
