en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiatic_Lion_Reintroduction_Project. Here is information of reintroduction of the Asiatic lions. At the moment it does not look very good. It is not so simple. The last information from 2015 is: " In a reversal of position, the Ministry of Environment and Forests decided in a meeting in June 2015 against translocation at present on the grounds that it would be detrimental to the breeding and survival of the lions as they lived in social prides. The turn-around of stance has been attributed by environmentalists supporting the translocation to Narendra Modi who had as Chief Minister of Gujarat stated that the lion was the pride of Gujarat and had publicly declared his opposition to the transfer of lions outside the state." So politics come into it.
There is no justification whatsoever for the reversal of the decision to translocate the lions by the Central Government. The Central government and State of Madhya Pradesh have spent huge amounts of money to relocate villagers in Madhya Pradesh to make space for the lions. Further the conditions are suitable for the lions introduction as it part of historic range. The Gujarat Government is indeed by its need to hold the lions within its territory in bid of maintain a hollow reasoning of State pride at deteriment of the Asiatic lions. With all the lions so closely grouped in a confined space, it requires just one more bad Canine Distemper incident to more than half the population. Further it is a direct contradiction of the stand taken by the Central Government itself on which the Supreme Court of India ordered the relocation in the first place. If one looks at the Asiatic lions in the Gir region, they look sick and beleaguered.
There are several commentators ( 15 at the moment) who thought this is an African lion because of its luxuriant mane, but it is like that because he lives in cold climate, he can be outside in winter. You can recognise it as Asian because of the skin fold underneath.

Bhai ye Asiatic lion nahi hai because Asiatic lion k itne dense mane nahi hoti african lion k dense mane hoti hai jaise is lion k hai aur asiatic lion k belly me mane nahi hoti per African lion k belly me mane hoti hai jaise is lion k hai
Actually very few people know that this not the true extent of his roar.. u should hear his roar when a lion is angry.. it literally sends shiver down ur spine
I'm sure it does. The first time ever I heard a lion roar, was at the end of 1960s at a small zoo. The lions were inside, and one of them started to roar. I could not see him, I was in a corridor away from him. The roar naturally started fairly quietly and kept getting louder. You had the feeling that the lion was getting closer. He was not angry, yet I felt fear, though I knew he stayed in one place. When I went to see him, he calmly looked at my eyes as he was fairly close. What a strange feeling! They were so large and calm.
ausfi yes ..they are very calm.. most of the videos ln youtube showcase their Territorial roar .. Tigers have a similar territorial roar.. But tigers are more agressjve of the 2 Animals .. Lions have the tiger type roar we see on youtube.. But it is mucchhhh louder，scarier and frightening..
Handsome asiatic lion. Their bigger mane due to cold climate. In gir forest is hot climate so the male lion developed less mane. Asiatic lions has underbelly skinfold. So this is the handsome male asiatic lion
what a magnificent looking asiatic lion truly amazing mane and physique, i want to help in conservation of these animals so bad, such magestic beasts. zoos all over world with asiatic lions should send some cubs back to India to help the genepool , it needs every bit of help it can get to strengthen it's chances of survival. Because of human killing their genepool have been narrowed so much , i hope they can be saved and their former glory can be restored, all conservationists should think of that and i wish the same thing for the tigers, love these big cats, most beautiful and deadly Creations of god. love from India
Lion of भारत well said matey I totally agree with every word you’ve said this lion is absolutely beautiful he’s such a handsome chap he’s got to be in his prime looking that good but they should definitely breed him to get some cubs as many as possible with the numbers being so low because of human poaching etc I can’t believe how a human being could hurt or kill such a magnificent beast these are the pinnacle of animal the absolute kings of the animal kingdom they should be protected more and should breed them as much as possible to give these guys a chance of survival I’d put my life on the line for these creatures and that’s not a joke

The Indian lion is a very interesting animal. It is slightly smaller than the African lion, and has a skin fold under its belly. Its mane is thin in hot climates but grows thick like this in cold climates. It's a very good fighter - it has beaten both the Bengal and Siberian tigers in captivity, even though they are both bigger than it. Those tigers can beat an African male lion but not an Indian/Asiatic male lion. This is the real king of the jungle (and its natural habitat was the jungles of India, and now is only confined to the Gir Forest).
+Isa Sayf If a Bengal tiger was in a one-on-one encounter with an Asian lion, it would probably win, given its weight advantage. But lions, who are social animals, may form fighting groups, unlike tigers, which are usually solitary, and it is believed that a group of lions (2 - 3 males) or lionesses (2 - 4 females) is more than match for a single tiger or tigress. I'm still going to leave the replies of both you and 'thejattlord' in place but I cannot understand why people have to start abusing each other when they are of different opinions. Both of you have many good arguments which don't get better by using nasty words, no one can help where they were born, hindu or muslim. I again am Christian, are you going to hold that against me? I hate that kind of language under my video.
thejattlord asiatic lion is no match for a Bengal or Siberian tiger and it's well known that the African lion is stronger and larger and is certainly a better fighter.
Once asiatic lions found in Greece, Turkey, Mesopotamia, Arabian peninsula, Caucasus, Persia, Indian subcontinent. Persian lions was lived in cold climate. So they were very big from hot climate asiatic lions. Hot climate asiatic lions are small maned lion.

Animals that aren't on the verge of extinction or being hunted as a "game" shouldn't, in my opinion, be in captivity. But I understand why Lions and Tigers are taken in to captivity because it is tremendously helping their population. Still, it is sad to see their lives behind bars instead of in the wild where they should be, but aren't able to because of humans and trophy hunters.
It is a beautiful Asiatic Lion. Those people who are confusing it as African lion, look at his belly fold, the belly fold is only found in asiatic lions.
Velasca Yeah, that big majestic mane is due to cold climate. Anyways, When African lions adapt to cold climate, then the mane tends to look more luxuriant and massive in comparison to Asiatic lions in the same conditions, but both have beautiful manes regardless.
@Pavan Kumar Calm down, this comment was from 3 years ago, I didn't know any better then. Now, I know that they both look as majestic as each other in colder climates. They do look slightly different in colder climates, but both are still majestic in their own way.
@@gshrdy5415 Lions in Africa had manes like this in mountainous regions, due to colder climates, same in the Middle Eastern and Persian mountains too. So maybe Indian lions that lived in mountainous areas also had that mane.
Ma'am next time someone questions your judgement that how you concluded that this was an Indian lion & not an African lion just tell them 3 differences : Ears visible from front exist only in asian lion : Fold under belly : Unusually big tuft of hair at tails end
Hello,I have a question I heard that some scholars place Mesopotamian lions as a subspecies of Asian lions with the name Panthera leo mesopotamia Is this true?
@ The Reaper - Asiatic lions living in the wild do not have manes that reach to the belly but there is a stone relief of a lion in Niniveh with belly hair so there seems to have been a subspecies, so the scientific name Panthera leo mesopotamica was proposed for it. They are of course extinct.
Anybody can immediately and clearly decipher that, the above lion is an African king 🤴🏾✊🏾. Asiatic or aka, Indian lion, is a wimp, runs away from fights and is usually bullied and thrashed by the, much larger, Bengal tiger 🐅.
@Ebenezer - Actually, I like tigers. This, though, amazingly was an Asiatic lion, grown so much larger than they usually are with a fine mane, because of colder climate and a good diet of meat. There are so many different opinions. A person said 6 years ago: " Asian lion is a very good fighter - it has beaten both the Bengal and Siberian tigers in captivity, even though they are both bigger than it. Those tigers can beat an African male lion but not an Indian/Asiatic male lion. This is the real king of the jungle (and its natural habitat was the jungles of India, and now is only confined to the Gir Forest)." Of course, it is only his opinion, I cannot prove it one way or another.
That's an asian lion. the reason asiatic lions don't achieve their genetic size and mane in Gujarat is because of generations of inbreeding, all 500 lions are descendants of a single pride,overcrowding of a lot of lions in a small area and scarcity of food.barbary lions and Asian lion were part of the same subspecies I.e panthera leo leo, so they are very identical in terms of size and looks and the Barbary lion is not as large as the lion fans claim.
Asiatic lions once found in Greece, anatolia, Mesopotamia, Arabian peninsula, Persia, Caucasus, Indian subcontinent. But now only found in Gujarat ( india).nowadays wild asiatic lions only found in hot climate area.thats why their mane is small.but colder climate asiatic lions ( persian lions) were lived in colder climates. Lions mane become very deep in the cold climate.
Debajyoti Nath - Thank you for your comment, but I wonder, do people who watch this video never read other comments? Because then they would find out that Asiatic lions who live in a cold climate, like this male who lived in a zoo in Finland, grow a thicker mane than those who live in Gir. You should also see that he had a skin fold on his stomach, which is one of the signs of an Asiatic lion.
@@ozsfifirst, I said that Asiatic lions of Gujarat do not have thick mains. I am not talking about all species of Asiatic lions found everywhere. Secondly, sorry but I may or may not read all comments in a video in RUclips.
@@debajyotinath5021 Yes , I have seen what the lions look like in Gujarat. At the moment, we have only two female lions in Korkeasaari. Yes, they are too much to read, but I have tried to explain things in the description.
No, he could not as they were separated. By the way, he sacrificed himself to populate the world with Asian lions to keep up the numbers. As these animals were all born in the zoos, they have not missed the jungle.
It seems it can be done but results are not good. Chhatbir Zoo in Punjab bred around 100 hybrid lions. They were crossed by African lions in travelling circuses. In 2006 it set up a sanctuary for its ageing and ill Asian/African hybrid lions. They had around 30 remaining hybrids, they have physical and mental defects and weakened immune systems. Some have wounds that refuse to heal and others were born paralysed. The breeding programme ended in 2002 and all of the male mixed blood lions in zoos were sterilised to prevent further breeding of hybrids. The remaining hybrids are expected to die out before 2020.

That's true of lions in the wild, but those in zoos in cold climate grow longer manes.
Asiatic lions once found in Greece, anatolia, Mesopotamia, Arabian peninsula, Persia, Caucasus, Indian subcontinent. But now only found in Gujarat ( india).nowadays wild asiatic lions only found in hot climate area.thats why their mane is small.but colder climate asiatic lions ( persian lions) were lived in colder climates. Lions mane become very deep in the cold climate.

hehe suomenkielestä ja korkeasaaresta ei voi erehtyä:)
Kiva, että eksyit tänne! Käytkö Korkeasaaressa? Asun Oslossa mutta käyn siellä milloin olen Hesassa.
@@ozsfi En ole muutamaan vuoteen käynyt, mutta kyllä joskus pitäisi ehdottomasti käydä katselemassa eläimiä.
My wish is this beauty be my bodyguard
This is an African lion.
No, Asian, see the stomach fold.
Okay. How come it’s so huge and has the large mane?
Bonjour du Canada Never pick a fight with him
ライオンさんは凄い迫力ですね。
最後はワンワンと聞こえた🦁
でも形が可愛いいですね。
Asian lions are smallest but better fighters in lion
That's not an Asiatic lion, it's an Barbaric Lion from Northern Africa and are believed to be extinct in wild due to excessive hunting.
S J - The skin fold on the stomach shows that he is Asiatic.
@@ozsfi Asiatic lions have very less main (facial hair) so I'm pretty sure he's not Asiatic
@@ozsfi 😁😊
@@LoonaVanza That"s lions in the wild, in zoos in cold climate it grows thicker.
@@ozsfi ok that make sense 👍
It's not Asian lion it's a African lion
akhil james - No, it is Asian, cannot you see the skin fold on the stomach.
asiatic lion? Asiatic lions are also found in Gir in Gujarat. They do not have such thick and dark mane.
Debajyoti Nath - Thank you for your comment, but I wonder, do people who watch this video never read other comments? Because then they would find out that Asiatic lions who live in a cold climate, like this male who lived in a zoo in Finland, grow a thicker mane than those who live in Gir. You should also see that he had a skin fold on his stomach, which is one of the signs of an Asiatic lion.
@@ozsfifirst, I said that Asiatic lions of Gujarat do not have thick mains. I am not talking about all species of Asiatic lions found everywhere.
Secondly, sorry but I may or may not read all comments in a video in RUclips.
@@debajyotinath5021 Yes , I have seen what the lions look like in Gujarat. At the moment, we have only two female lions in Korkeasaari. Yes, they are too much to read, but I have tried to explain things in the description.
I think its not a asian lion, who doesn't have bulky dark hair
One day asiatic lions in india be like this
It could be hybrid though...
The four lion I hope the child didn't hurt him he needs to be out in the wild somewhere
I was trying to say the poor lion I hope the child didn't hurt him
No, he could not as they were separated. By the way, he sacrificed himself to populate the world with Asian lions to keep up the numbers. As these animals were all born in the zoos, they have not missed the jungle.
Can Barbary lions and Asiatic lions breed together? Pls reply
It seems it can be done but results are not good. Chhatbir Zoo in Punjab bred around 100 hybrid lions. They were crossed by African lions in travelling circuses. In 2006 it set up a sanctuary for its ageing and ill Asian/African hybrid lions. They had around 30 remaining hybrids, they have physical and mental defects and weakened immune systems. Some have wounds that refuse to heal and others were born paralysed. The breeding programme ended in 2002 and all of the male mixed blood lions in zoos were sterilised to prevent further breeding of hybrids. The remaining hybrids are expected to die out before 2020.
