Answer:
Once widely distributed from northern Greece eastwards through Syria, Iraq and Iran to central India, the Asiatic lion was exterminated over most of its range with the advent of firearms in the 19th century. The last remaining population is found in the Gir sanctuary of Gujarat, where it survived under the patronage of the Nawab of Junagadh, and now protected under law. One of seven subspecies of the lion two of which are already extinct – the Asiatic lion inhabits teak forest, scrub and grassland. It lives in social groups (called., prides) and cooperatively hunts large mammals e.g. nilgai, sambar, chital, and wild pig. At one time the Gir forest suffered heavily from overgrazing by domestic cattle, reducing natural ungulate populations and forcing the lions to turn to livestock predation. Plans have been proposed to create a second lion reserve, both to relieve the pressure on the Gir Sanctuary and to lessen the risks of a catastrophe wiping out a single population.
