Asiatic Lions in Sasangir National Park
The Sasangir National Park is perhaps the last refuge of the Asiatic Lions that were almost on the verge of extinction. The Asiatic Lion or the Panthera leo persica is a little different from its African counterpart. The mane of the Asiatic Lion is not very luxuriant and its skin is a lighter shade of that of its African counterpart. The Asiatic Lions at the Sasangir National Park are purely predatory.
Widespread hunting of the Asiatic Lions during the 19th century had almost brought the lion population to a few hundreds when the erstwhile maharaja of Junagadh decided to set up a reserve to protect the Asiatic Lions and this reserve later developed into the Sasangir Wildlife Sanctuary in Gujarat, India.
