Why the Gir is especially important for Aciatic lions?
Answers
Answer:
The Asiatic lion is a Panthera leo leo population in India.[3] Its current range is restricted to the Gir National Park and environs in the Indian state of Gujarat. Historically, it inhabited much of Western Asia and the Middle East up to northern India. On the IUCN Red List, it is listed under its former scientific name Panthera leo persica as Endangered because of its small population size and area of occupancy.
