It looks cute. But, there is cause for caution. There are no good lions or bad lions. There are only lions. Just as we don’t have good tigers and bad tigers. There is need to separate them from the human population to avoid conflict.

It may accelerate man-animal conflicts. Park management must take preventive measures in this regard.

In recent years conservation experts have argued that the population of Asiatic lions in Gir National Park have exceeded the park’s carrying capacity which prompts the lions to stray in human settlements. The experts also cautioned that the concentration of one species in a small area makes them vulnerable to infectious diseases like canine distemper.
