    If this photo was taken in Gir forest, is there a possibility that this is an Asiatic lion? I know that Gir has the largest known population of Asiatics even though it is still small. Asiatic lions have a fold of skin running along their belly which appears to be visible here. Also the colouring looks about right, or am I just being hopeful? Posted 11 years ago
