The lions that figure in the stories off the Bible and ranged through Persia

Peninsula in Western India.
Called the Asiatic Lion, little more than two hundred of these magnificent animals
survive in the 300 sq. km. Of Gir National Park. Their numbers have recouped
from about 20 in 1913 to present level after the Nawabs of Junagarh initiated

elsewhere. Also to be seen are Samber, Chital, Chinkara, Chousingha, Nilgai
and wild boar.
