The king of the jungle "becomes a" sea lion "! Natural habitats have reduced year by year, and Indian Asian lions moved closer to the seaside

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Due to the reduction of natural habitats year by year, the Asian lion in Gujarat, India, began to move closer to the beach. The wonders of the "king of jungle" made many Indian netizens cry and laugh. According to the BBC report on the 11th, according to the statistics of the Gujarat State Forestry Department, the total number of Asian lions in the state is about 700, most of which concentrated in the Sanjir National Park and Wildlife Reserve in the southern part of the state. In recent years, these jungle beasts have begun to appear frequently in the seaside area away from the animal protection area.

According to the Hindu Times, the number of "new immigrants" of these seaside coast has increased from 87 in 2020 to 120, an increase of 38%. According to wild animal experts, according to nature, the lion was difficult to adapt to the seaside environment. This unusual animal migration fully indicates that their original habitat is too crowded. In order to help the lion adapt to the new environment, the local forestry department began to plant trees familiar to lions in the seaside area. The offshore residents reported that they were surprised when they first saw the lion, but fortunately they had no intention to hurt people, and there was nothing to do with each other. (Gao Wenyu)
