Which is the natural habitat of the Indian Lion?

The Indian lion, also known as the Asiatic lion, primarily inhabits the Gir Forest National Park and surrounding areas in the state of Gujarat, India. This lion species prefers dry deciduous forests, scrublands, and savannahs, which provide ample prey and cover. The habitat is characterized by a mix of open grasslands and dense thickets, allowing the lions to stalk and hunt effectively. Conservation efforts have helped to protect and expand their natural habitat, supporting a stable population.
