The ONLY ASIATIC LIONS of GIR FOREST, INDIA. 🇮🇳

Lions in INDIA? That's correct! In the state of Gujarat, you will find Gir Forest National Park, the home of the last Asiatic Lions. These lions used to roam far and wide from Turkey into Asia, but now only 600(and something) individuals call this last region there home. In this video, we head into Gir Forest to try and find some lions, during a true lion safari.

Hi, my name is Ráchelle. 👋🏻

I'm an adventure-loving travel enthusiast with a huge love for off-the-beaten-track adventures. My passion for video and storytelling is what led me to create my YouTube channel (Tales of Odyssey) and explore the world. Although I also have some regular travel videos, my heart lies with adventure, outdoors, conservation, and travel that most people are not aware of yet. But of course, I also visit some epic places that you have heard of, and here I love to show you around with my own little twist!

Through my content, I hope to connect you with adventures and purposes around the world to tickle your own curiosity beyond the mainstream!

Not the last, but only Asiatic Lions, they're not going to be extinct. Their population has increased significantly for the last 15 years.

[chi-]

A lesser known fact for many Indians. By 1900s, when the British were almost certain that they'll have to leave the country very soon, they went on a rampage on wild life, with extensive hunting throughout the subcontinent and officially organised hunting parties and extravaganza, and some of those relics adorn many wealthy British families even today. During that rampage of close to 50 years, the British managed to kill over 1 million Indian elephants, bringing their population down to 20000 by 1947. That was not all. Over Asiatic lions were hunted during this period, which at that time was present across the length and breadth of the country. It's estimated that the British killed over 150000 tigers during this period, reducing their population to less than 2000. Countless other species like Black buck, peacocks and Indian bears were reduced to the level of extinction during this rampage by the British.

By constant efforts by the Government of India since 1947 and by identifying and declaring 550 National Parks and 50 sanctuaries across the country, the elephant numbers were successfully increased to 32000, Tigers to around 3800, which amounts to 75% of the world's remaining tiger population todat, and Lions to around 500, and rare species like peacocks, gangetic dolphins, bears, and a variety of large cat species surviving near extinction. If the British had stayed for 10 more years, all this would have been lost to the world forever. This is one of the most successful stories of conservation around the world

India is only country where you can find both Tigers And Lions

[kirtigupta]

India is also home to more than 80% Tiger population in the world. National animal of India is Tiger.

[callumevans]

Still can't believe you saw your first lions in India!!! Really loved this video! Plus some beautiful footage of a scops owl and a fishing owl!

[sangeetbhowmick]

We Indians are blessed with diverse As a result all sorts of ecosystem and animals are present here

[dhamiraaziz]

Its 2023 and now have i only learned Lions exist outside of Africa😮 this is so special! India has lions and tigers and being the asiatic lion's numbers are 600-800. I hope they wont go extinct

[ankitojha]

Not people killing with Guns.
To be specific
Colonial Britishers killing with Guns.

[RomitDholakia]

Fun Fact: It was the Britishers who completely annihilated the population of Tigers and lions. Yule a britisher alone killed over 500 tigers.

[codeforinterview]

British almost hunted this beautiful creature to extinction, kudos to the conservation efforts in stabilizing the population.

[nish]

You should go to Ladakh too there we have snow leopards

[abir]

1:43 with all due respect "people" weren't killing the lions for fun ... the brits did the most of the damage followed by some of the then kings with close relations with the brits . Not just lions ... Tigers and Cheetahs weren't spared either. The former still thrives but the later is extinct
Ps : Leopards are darn elusive .. i had the luck of seeing a couple. I even recorded them and put it up in youtube

[mybunny]

British dogs tried to extinct these lions

[chathreshyuvi]

India started conserving lions and increasing their numbers
but Africa keeps allowing trophy hunting and poaching
and African lions have become less than 20k In the wild.
so sad

[abhishekpanchal]

Come to ranthambore for royal Bengal tigers with extreme high density

[lifewonder]

They should promote electric jeeps here such national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, pure silence and eco friendly

[whatever]

The Asiatic Lion is so under rated, the British almost hunted it to extinction, and we with so much effort increase it to a stable population. It's still in endangered species.
when even they used to come to India they used to spend most of the time hunting. To flex to there Aristocrats realtives and friends who have boring life in London.
This Asiatic lions are much more powerful then African lions because they are closely related to mountain lions.

[freedom]

One fun fact, INDIA has the highest number of Lions, Tigers, Elephants, Monkeys in wild.

[yourfriend]

My country is the best in the world. जय हिंद 🇮🇳 જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત 🇮🇳

[whatever]

The Asiatic Lion is so under rated, British almost hunted it to extinction & with extreme effects we stabilized it's population.
