| Note on Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica) | |
| 1985 Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society (82): 393-394 | |
As is well known large lions live often in pairs in the Gir. There are many such pairs and probably the oldest among them is a pair believed to be 17 years of age and christened by the "Shikaris" as "Akbar" and "Sultan". In May 1982, it was reported that Sultan was injured possibly in a fight with another male lion. He was located at Mundachowk. It was found that he had a large wound on his head between his ears, it had festered and was full of flies. His general condition was poor and his brother Akbar was in the same locality. |
