Lovely spot, even if they are in a zoo, they remain majestic! Thank you for sharing Pradeep!
Asian lions once prowled from the Middle East to India, but were hunted heavily during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Sadly nowadays only around 400 of these magnificent animals survive in the wild, heavily protected in India's Gir Forest. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153001504945603&set=a.10152575329380603.958289.10150120463815603&type=1
