THE LION

In India, the lion is at present, confined to the Gir Forest of Kathiawar, but formerly it had a much wider range of distribution extending over Northern and Central India. The habitat of the lion is among the teak trees, bamboo and thorny shrubs, which abound in the Gir Forest. It rests during the day and goes out in search of its prey at dusk. It’s prey consists mainly of cattle and game animals of the forest. An entire mounted specimen of a male African lion is on display.
