A video shared by Indian Forest Service officer and wildlife enthusiast Susanta Nanda shows two lions straying into an agricultural field near Gir National Park in Gujarat. A gutsy farmer who is working amidst the crop stays calm and does not panic as the two mighty beasts casually walk across.
Gir National Park is the only place in the world outside Africa where a lion can be seen in its natural habitat. The lions of Gir are a majestic animal, averaging 2.75 metres in length, and with a bigger tail tassle, bushier elbow tufs and prominent belly folds than his African cousin which has larger mane. Gir is home to 40 species of mammals and 425 species of birds.
There is a Gir Wild Life Tour Package that provides an opportunity to watch the rare Asiatic Lions along with thousands of other elusive wild animals and hard-to-find birds. These include uncommon Asiatic wild ass, hyenas, Gir foxes, pygmy woodpecker, brown fish owl and black buck etc.
