The carcasses of three lions have been found inside the Gir Lion Sanctuary in Gujarat. This is the last bastion of the Asiatic lion, which once roamed from Iran all the way to Bihar in India. The nails, skull and bones of the lions were missing which indicates poaching. The forest department has now set up a team to investigate the case and a cash prize of Rs 50,000 has been announced for anyone giving information about the poachers. The carcasses of the lions have been sent to Junagadh for a forensic examination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
