The lions that figure in the stories off the
Bible and ranged through Persia to North of India are now confined to a tiny
pocket in the Saurashtrian 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 conservation measures.
Gir also has a large
population of Leopards that are more easily seen here than elsewhere. Also
to be seen are Samber, Chital, Chinkara, Chousingha, Nilgai and wild boar.
North of Gir is the little Rann of Kutch where the last stand of
wild asses survive numbering over 1000. They are found in herds of 30 or so
and are capable of with standing great dehydration. This is also a guest
place for Cranes, flamingoes and lots of other birds found in large numbers.
