Where does the Asiatic Lion live?

India

These days, most Lions (Panthera leo) live in sub-Saharan Africa, with the largest populations in Eastern and Southern Africa. Their historical range spanned not only Africa but from Eastern Europe all the way through Southwest Asia.

The Asiatic Lion (Panthera leo persica) is the subspecies from Southwest Asia that today lives only in the relatively tiny Gir Forest of Northwestern India, not too far from the border with Pakistan.
