There is a small population of lions in India, known as "Asiatic lions".

Sometimes called the "Persian lion", "Panthera leo leo" can be found in Gir National Park and parts of Gujurat state. In 2015, estimates put the population at just over 500 individuals.

As well as Asiatic lions, India has four other native cats: the Bengal tiger, Indian leopard, snow leopard and clouded leopard.
