A big welcome to the Land which gave them their name
India is the only country to have both Tigers and Lions ( also leopards , including Snow Leopards ) .
-------------------------------------------
IIndia
remains indebted to the visionary steps of erstwhile Nawab of Junagarh
who , in British times stopped hunting of the majestic Asiatic Lions in
the Gir forest ( Gujarat ) . Thanks to Nawab's efforts the lion
population in Gir increased from the then about 20 to around 600.
The
project to relocate some lions to Morena district ( Chambal River
Valley ) Madhya Pradesh , should be undertaken without any delay .

Lions/ Tigers / Leopards -Memorable Cartoons
We recall two Cartoons which appeared in Newspapers some time back
===================================
Around 1972 , Govt. of India changed the National Animal of India from Lion to Tiger.
The
infuriated ( Ex ) King of Jungle was shown picking up the Phone and
asking for to be put in touch with the Top Indian Lawyer ,Nani
Palkhiwala ( for filing a Case )
========================================
Once , a leopard , entered the prestigious IMA , Dehradun compound.
The news was widely covered.
A
Cartoon showed the Leopard ( in Uniform ) along with other Gentleman
Cadets at the Parade with the Officer sternly telling the new Recruit :-
" NO MORE OF YOUR WILD WAYS "
