I am the King : A male Asiatic lion in Gir, India
The Gir Forest National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary is a forest and wildlife sanctuary in Gujarat, India. Established in 1965, with a total area of 1,412 km2 for the fully protected area the national park and 1,153 km2 for the Sanctuary), the park is located 43 km (27 mi) north-east of Somnath, 65 km south-east of Junagadh and 60 km south-west of Amreli.
It is the sole home of the Asiatic lions (Panthera leo persica) and is considered to be one of the most important protected areas in Asia due to its supported species.
I was lucky to get this shot with wonderful morning sun coming directly on the face of the lion while it was taking a leisurely stroll in the Gir forest.
