We reached a National Park called Gir at 9:00 PM, we had a quick dinner after arranging a wild safari, my father had to reach the main center at 7:00 AM to get a permit from the rangers because if you don't get a permit you can't go into the forest. One of the main reasons we came to Gir is because we REALLY wanted to see the asiatic lions, and of course the rest of the wildlife. The first picture is of a wild male asiatic lion resting after eating (he probably ate a fat spotted  deer or something), we only saw one wild lion as they are very hard to spot, sometimes it is just luck. The deer were really scared of us sometimes the would run away as soon as they heard your jeep. There are 411 asiatic lions and 46,000 spotted deer in Gir.
