Though not found as widely through India as the tiger, the power and courage of the Asiatic lion should not be underestimated. What are your thoughts on these formidable beasts?

India is a blessed land to have so many of the exotic animals. I would love to go there some time.

Only country in world to have 🦁 and 🐯.🇮🇳

India please keep this awesome creatures safe!🙏🏿

India has 15 species of wild cats Bengal tiger Asiatic lion Indian leopard Snow leopard Clouded leopard Eurasian lynx Caracal Jungle cat Asian golden cat Leopard cat Desert cat Fishing cat Pallas cat Marbled cat And rusty spotted cat 🇮🇳

From 13 lions to 600 🙏

Before independence of India 🇮🇳Britishers killed thousands of Asiatic lions 🦁 but now the situation of lions is better.. There are 600+ lions in Gir national park. Gujarat state. India 🇮🇳 Government of Gujarat state.. Forest department started conservation program for the lions.. Now the numbers increasing fast.. Thx to Gujarat Govt.. 🇮🇳

We used to have Cheetahs too but they got extinct in 1947.

There is some good news - Supreme Court of India has ordered that Asiatic lions should be relocated in kuno wildlife sanctuary also. BTW Cheetahs are also returning to india. Imagine India having - Lions,Tigers,Leopards,Snow leopard,Cheetahs in wild

This is heartbreaking to watch. Such majestic beasts reduced down to this really sad condition. I sincerely hope there's hope for them to survive.

Most people don't know the fact that India has the most number of wild cat species- 15 out of 40 (16 if you count the extinct Asiatic Cheetah): Lions Tigers Cheetah (became extinct in India in 1950) Leopard Snow leopard Clouded leopard Rusty spotted cat Leopard cat Caracal Asiatic golden cat Lynx Marbled cat Jungle cat Fishing cat Pallas's cat Desert cat

What are u talking? Before independence britishers killed most of lions and tigers of India. Only 12 lions were left in 1912.

Like most people, my favorite animals are lions. It's great that all females take care of their juveniles together. Creatures to be respected.. Thank you for sharing with us...

I’m 42 and from Scotland. I’ve watched David Attenborough and nature documentary’s since I was very young. I keep up to date with things. I feel very stupid right now because I haven’t heard of Asian Lions. African lions everybody knows. Less people know about the American lions. Mountain lion, puma,cougar. Thank you for the video and knowledge. Peace

They're the last lion in Asia. Plz keep them safe India 🙏🏻

They are incredible!!I didn't knew there were lions outside Africa.Too bad that their number is dropping =(

Par ek baat hasne waali hai 😂😂 jo bhi European comment section me kah raha in lion ko bachana chahiye . Indian people kill 🦁 lion's. Par unko nahi pata ki tumhare ancestors ne tumhare desh me jo bhi jaanwaro ki prajaati thi usko khatam kar diya aur . Wo European indians ko gyaan chod rahe hai inko kaise save karna chahiye.😂😂😂

Need more documentaries about Indian 🦁

That is brutal & hard. Poor lions, it's heart-wrenching.

I pray that more people will be aware on how to protect our mother nature and all the earthlings who live with it, no more for selfishness, animals and humans shared one thing- we all live once...

This is why we have to get more people aware and get goverments and communities to protect species like this . We can still turn things in the right direction . But only if we all put in the effort to make it happen

This article is thoroughly misleading. Thanks to great conservation efforts , asiatic lions have made a remarkable come back. Wonder what the motivations for this totally misleading and misrepresenting article. The magazine owes a genuine explanation for long time subscribers such as me.

So sad to watch these asiatic lions.. they are too skinny.. not strong enough to kill prey (if there is prey in india) hope they can survive. Please india.. protect these beautiful creatures.

It’s depressing because there’s almost double the of population of lions and tigers combined in America. Where they are abused, and stuck inside small cages their entire life. :(

Save lions, save animals...............!!!!!

Asiatic lions are beautiful creatures, please India protect these animals.

It is really sad to see the king of the animals,dying slowly...i really hope that something will happen, so the next generations, will be able to know and watch,those really proud animals...

The Asian lion just looks like the African lion

India need minimum four national parks for lions. Indian climate is very good for lions.

In India, the wild wolves survival is also a struggle with a dwindling population. No forests connecting the country properly from the East to the West besides some hilly area which hasn’t been fully exploited, even elephants and other wildlife have no free migratory movement left.

Lions are amazingly fantastic animals they rule over Africa

Pls make more documentary about Asiatic lions

What I know about Indian culture lions are mostly associated for luxury and lavish things or lifestyle. It's a symbol of royalty or Royal Power.But tigers are mainly associated to sacrifice, strength and bravery. If king of empire is the like the Lion then the brave soldier is like the Tiger.

Not only Samson!!!! lets not forget that in greek mitology the Nemean lion that was killed by hercules was a asiatic lion too!!!

Gujarat government is reluctant to spread them to other places from as close as Kuno national park and as far as Iran simply because they want monopoly over them. This leaves them vulnerable to diseases like canine distemper virus or death due to territorial confict among each othet since the land cannot support their numbers.

Indian jackal and wolf looks like kuposhan 😂

Never been this sad watching lions 😥😥

Everytime I get a notification I pray it be more than 2-3 mins lol well a girl can hope! Can never seem to find full documentary on telly Nat geo wild or HD

Pride of India asiatic lions

I love Indian lions

Tiger, Lion and Snow Leopard all in 1 country 🥰🙏🏽🙏🏽

Numbers of this subspecies has increased showing signs they may yet survive.

Asiatic Lion's statue can be seen in Ashoka's pillar.We must protect them. They are a very proud animal than Tiger.

The great circle of life

Iam from the largest democracy country in the world, i love this channel

What is India doing to save em? Are they in a proctected area? can't they give em food? They all look malnourished. 😢

The two young asiatic lionesses are maybe sisters and the older female are maybe they mother

That was wonderful. I only wish I could watch the entire documentary which is probably close to an hour.

It's weird to think that these guys once inhabited Greece and the Balkans...

All I know is we need to look after them it's our duty and responsibility too look after them the reason there dieing is because of humans so it's now our job to help that's how it works

For some reason I forgot that Asiatic Lions were real. I remember learning of them when in elementary school but, they just slipped from my mind until about a year ago. I run across a video about them and was what, oh yeah I do know of them. Lol

Every living animals have birth right to live on earth. We have no right to Kill them and put them in danger. See the example of Tasmania wolf ( thylesine) . We permanently destroy them. Save Lion. Save Lion, save Lion,

Lions are our emblem pride and honour

the danger always comes from a certain neighbor of India whole loves to grind up every rare animal into traditional 'medicine'

India now getting cheetahs back

These beautiful Lions must be saved

I wish i was born as a lion

Modi said, “Lions are the pride of Gujarat” and refused the planned relocation to Madhya Pradesh.They need to have sanctuaries in other parts of India.

Where can I watch the whole thing?

The pride and joy of India🦁🔥💪

That lioness got injured and It is very common thing in a group of lions. It is thumb rule of a jungle that if an animal is injured then its time to say goodbye to this world. Government of that region is trying a lot to save them. Please do not provide wrong info. around the world because People start showing sympathy and they feel that indian lions are avoided by the government. Due to some outsiders and their merciless behaviour with lions, they reached to 20. You should make documentary on that topic as well. Lions are increasing in numbers day by day. The bonding between humans of that region and lions is a unique identification in the world and I think it's a real quality of a king as they are having control on their mind .

Correct the title they are Indian Lions, along with Indian 🐅

Please a documentation of lions

Can u please post this ENTIRE EPISODE INSTEAD of just few min. Clips??!

India a place where humans and animals all lived peacefully until ev*l britishers arrived and destroyed it for them just like they did in other countries! Good to see India has recovered a lot and now its wildlife as well as economy both are thriving!

Yes, it's noble Lion !

Can you please summon for help so that they get food and water please

I didn’t know there was Asian Lions

Asiatic Lion Is National Animal of Iran 🇮🇷 But It became extinct in Iran 50 years ago

Now we have cheetahs

I did not know lion cubs meow

No

The asiatic lions are the night pride from the lion guard

They were in the 100's of 1000's up until the 1950's, it's a blòody tragedy...for the whole world 😣 we are all Earthlings...

😢😢 save Beautyfull king they are so hungry 😢

Send the trophy Hunters in, after all aren't they all about conservation!! I'm sure it would help feed the lion's.

Sad Indonesia had many lion and tigers species that went extinct like Sumatran tigers and lions…

As a Sikh Lions are integral to Sikhism so I want to save them

Our Indian Government Uses Lion as Proud Embalm... But there is no Prevention Programs for the Lions and Wild Animals in India. What is that, Hope PM Modi Ji, will Focus on Wild Life in India, After Into the Wild with Bear Grylls...

The KING of the JUNGLE 🦁👑💪🔥🔥🔥🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Once time meet tiger.. 🐯🐯💪

I think there is no prey for predators ( pure jungle ).

India's Big Five Cats: Bengal tiger Asian lion Indian leopard Snow leopard Clouded leopard

Most exotic one

Good news it asiatic lions population is stable Bad news: there’s only 750 left

Britishers also killed 100 thousands of Indian 🐺 wolf. Main kuch nahi kar sakta ab

Wow this is a very sad sight. These babies look terrible. Injured lioness. Really not looking good. The hypocritical situation arises. Should the human step in or let them perish??

So these are the lions the Romans used in big games! Also MGM paramount movie openings.

i will protect you nature as one protects its own apple

Asiatic Lions Live in Smaller Prides, India Gir Forest National Park in Gujarat, Lioness Very Tell her cubs to stop she ran out of milk.

Not many years ago there were just 13 lions left in Gujrat. Now they number in hundereds. Only we Indians have the capability of bringing species back from the edge.

Read an article about them last month..they are losing their hunting skills & becoming a fulltime scavenger..😥😔

Only South African ,masai Mara lions are bigger than Indian lions

*Ha Moj Ha 🤠*

The Siberian Tiger was proved to be genetically identical to the thought to be extinct Caspian Tiger. The Asiatic lion miraculously survived in India where it went extinct elsewhere , the Persian leopard survived also with a substantial and wide spread but threatened breeding population. Finally the Asiatic Cheetah perphaps the most miraculous of all to survive is hanging on by a thread in Iran. All of these big cats mostly forgot in Asia can once again roam all of Asia and coexist if people wake up to their existence! It is amazing to think Asia really has all the legendary cats Lions , Tigers, Leopards and Cheetahs and Snow leopards as well. A park containing all five would be as famous and awe inspiring as the best game reserves in South Africa. What people dont realize is 1. Politics and ego and greed has prevented these countries from sharing and breeding these populations. Especially India where Lions are suffering in one crowded national park when they should at the minimum be three seperate populations. 2. People have forgotten these animals even exist and lost touch with the fact that if just one of these five ( Tigers 🐅, Lions 🦁, leopards , snow leopards and cheetahs) went extinct, Asia would permanently loose a large part of its irreplaceable magic and natual divinity. I pray for a day that all four species can roam all of Asia. For now however the focus must be on preserving the populations where they are and making sure they dont disappear. Now is a time not to think as Indians or Iranians or Russians but as Asians and custodians of the legacy of the continent.

Only country with increasing growth rate in lion population and tiger population and it's my India🇮🇳

Narrator sounds like James Earl Jones.

seems they're not healthy

Lions of bible! Bro the lions live in india and india have lots of holy and not holy books about lions yet nat geo in a mood to telling peoples how lions saved the christians from the pagan( idol worshipper) romans.🙄

Tiger has become India's national animal since 1972.
