Asiatic lion marking its territory by urinating on tree, National Zoological Park

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Asiatic lion marking its territory by urinating on a tree in National Zoological Park. There are only several hundred Asiatic lions in the wild, and they only live in the Gir, India, in an area that is smaller than Greater London. They are slightly smaller than African lions. Asian lions used to range from Turkey, across Asia, to eastern India, but the rise of firearms across the world meant that they were hunted to near-extinction for sport. The male Asiatic lion has a relatively short, sparse and darker mane compared to the fuller mane of the African lion.
