The changing behavior of the lion

This is the refreshing news that a lion was found near Chotila. In the last few times there have been some changes in the behavior of the giants, which have been studied ...

Visitors to Junagadh will find the board read in many places, 'Sasan Gir, the residence of Asian lions - 3 km'. An arrow pointing to it will also be drawn. Sasan is situated at a distance of 3 km from Junagadh. Sasan is thus a small village, but it is now the office of the branch of 'Singh Sadan' and the center of the lion tour is now synonymous with Sasan Singh.

If tourists wishing to see a lion in Gujarat, proceed on the exit road on the south side of Junagadh and when traveling for an hour and a half, come to Sasan. This is a routine procedure. But what if a lion is found just outside Junagadh?

There are few lions in Junagadh city with a million black-headed human beings! Junagadhwas do not have such questions and are not surprised. Because the lion really lives there. On the south side of Junagadh, the road to Mandarada-Sasan is busy with vehicular noise during the day and many lions are seen here at night.

Within two to five kilometers of Junagadh city, the lion's hull has become regular. In the other direction is the Girnar Mountain and its jungle east of Junagadh. There are about two dozen forest dwellers in the forest, and they regularly flock to the Bhavanath area on the east side of Junagadh.

It is strange to hear that the lions are poking near Chotela. But on the other hand, there is also the fact that the lions have lost some of their new scream. Just last July, a lion-horde of South African Kruger National Parks swept the city's flanks to the far end of the city. Kenya's Nairobi city is constantly expanding.

On the other hand, Nairobi National Park is located about 5-10 km away from the city itself. The lions living here often benefit from darshan of the Nairobi townspeople by ac-tainting the fencing fence. On March 8, a lion that entered the city did not have control and eventually had to be shot!

Vanraj's rule in the third part of Saurashtra!
There are two reasons why Gir's lions go out. One area falls short. The Gir forest 'National Park', 'Wildlife Century' and the outer forest are spread in three parts. The first two parts are official forest. The third part should be treated as a forest or not, because where the sanctuary is destroyed, the plain plains-urban-rural area does not begin. There is a little bit of forest. Although this forest is not considered a jungle, wild animals live there.

The area of ​​Gir National Park is 3 square kilometers, covering Century area of ​​5 square kilometers. This is a government-defined measure. On the other hand, the fact is that the area decided by the lions of Gir is 1,5 square kilometers. As per the government census at the census of 3, lions live in the area of ​​3,5 square kilometers in Saurashtra. Meaning that the lions have spread over an area four times larger than what was originally intended for them. It is decided that the present census may have increased to 8,000.

The beginning of the 'out' of lions!
The borders are for humans, not for wildlife. That is, it is not necessary to be born in the forest, raised and raised. The lion has gone out of Kerala. A report on the 'out' of lions was published in Scientific Studies (Journal) 'Current Science'. The answer was when did the lions begin to exit Gir. Accordingly, half a century ago two-five lions were found living in the forest of Mitiyala and Girnar. But large-scale migration began during a 3-5 drought.

During the famine, lions were out for food. In Saurashtra, the famine was coming and going as a permanent guest. Because of this, some lions came out and built a new house outside as food-weather came in. Over time, Singh visited many places on the coast of Diu, in the brackish waters of Shritunji, in the semi-urban area between Dharaji-Junagadh. The streams have now reached the peak.

We'll decide where to go!
The interesting thing is that while lions are not moved artificially, they are not suitable, but naturally they find their own new land. For example, some lions from Gir were taken to Shivpuri National Park in Madhya Pradesh for the purpose of providing alternative accommodation. These lions could not survive in Shivpuri. For the second time, two pairs of lions migrated from Gir to 'Chandraprabha Sanctuary' in Uttar Pradesh.

At that time, Gir Kesari got the atmosphere of Chandraprabha and his population also increased slightly. By 4, the number of four lions increased to 4. After that the number of lions declined and within a few days they suddenly stopped appearing. I never knew where to go. The essence of the whole thing is that for the protection of the lions it does not need to be mounted in a cage and turned around. The lions have come, done, done their own way by tearing the forest in their own way. The Lions themselves want to decide where they want to go.

The temptation to withstand the circumstances
According to the theory of evolution, any organism can survive only if it is adapted to the surrounding environment. The lions are moving according to that principle. The lions of Gir are divided into different areas like Amreli-Lilia, Bardo, Sasan, Girnar and they are making their ferries according to that area. Lions need water, winged jungles, safety for chicks and the cooperation of locals, so much so that lions survive. All this is getting to all the lions that have come out of Gir.

Gir's lions have a tendency to survive under any circumstances, evidence of this is also found in the historical facts. Twenty-two hundred years ago, there were about a million lions in various countries of the world (African, Asian and other countries) around the year 1. Hunting lions also preyed heavily during the British rule of hunting. The local African species also used arrows and still hunted.

Over time, lion species other than African and Asian were destroyed. In Africa, there were various sub-species of lions, it ended. On the other hand, the population of the lions of Gir has increased from the bottom to the bottom. The African lions had a population of 5.4 million in the 7th, while the Asian lions had a population of 5 in the 5th.

Lions of Africa were spread across six countries, which are now confined to eight-nine countries. Today's situation is that the population of African lions has dropped to below 3,000, but the number of lions in Gir has reached 7. That means, the lions of Gir have been able to cope with the situation.

Decentralization of lions
Going back in history, it is not as if the lions lived in Gir. Lions lived in many places outside Gir and Gujarat. Now most of the areas where the lions have arrived are not new lions residents. Years ago the lions were thinking about all these areas. But due to declining forests, lions were concentrated in the girder. Now the lions are busy again expanding their empire.

Scientific American, a world-renowned magazine in the world of science, presented a scientific study of the lion's habitat in Gir. It was clear in the report that there could not be more than 3 forest species in Gir forest. When it is higher than that, either the lion has to get out, or the insider has to scramble. The lions are fortunate enough to have gone out of some way.

Expanding the lions is in the interest of the lions!
'Zoological Society of London' researched African lions. Accordingly, the ability to hunt lions there has declined over the last century. Genetic variation is the reason for the decline or decline of prey capacity. As an organism that lives in the environment, its body is formed. The highlight of the report was that genetic diversity among lions is declining. This means that in the future new pandemics, scarcity of water, changing environment, etc. will arise or the lion's physical ability to survive will be reduced when circumstances change rapidly.

The lions who grew up in different areas, hunted under extreme circumstances and survived from generation to generation can produce strong heirs in the future. The situation is reversing in Africa. It is important that the lions live in different areas so that they do not fall into the gear. Because if a lion lives in a single or confined area, the challenges in front of it will also be limited and almost identical.

It will destroy the combat capability of future generations. An epidemic broke out in Gir in September-October 3, killing three dozen lions. As well as staying safe in another area. It shows that the lions fell apart and survived, they had infected.

Gir's lions have accepted many such changes. Basically, we humans are of the opinion that a lion or other animal does not move to some extent. But in reality we do not know the extent of them, which we know is incomplete. So it is not surprising that such surplus can be found, you will meet in the future!

Two misconceptions about the lion

"The lion never eats a rock ..." "The lion has no herds ..." This proverb, located in the proverb cell of the Gujarati language, is an ornament of the Gujarati language. But that is not scientifically correct. The lions are rotten and eaten for years. Because heavy food goes into the stomach, you have to eat a fibrous dish for digestion. In the name of fiberglass, where is the grass in the forest? The proverb can be truthfully said that lions do not eat grass to break appetite.

After being hungry, he is accustomed to abdominal grooming. Lions are regularly hunted by hordes. For example, on January 3, four lions had rammed together in the forest around Ghadia, and killed five in five days. Dozens of cases of littering with ten to fifteen lions have been reported in our gir. Of course, most lions are on their way to death.
