Briefly translated from Gujarati

A dead body of four year old lion was found in Gidardi village forest area in Gir East. Postmortem reported natural death. DFO Shree Raja said that cub may have been separated from its pride and hence may have died due to starvation.

In another incidence villagers of Gadhiya (Gir East near Dhari) reported ill lioness. She was successfully caged by the forest department for treatment. Lioness is about 8-10 years old.
