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.
In this shot, the lion cubs were feasting on a recently killed buffalo. They were momentarily distracted by the noise and looking at the noise source when I took this shot.
