Gir National Park
A reserve has been organized in northern India, which is known as the Gir Forest. This territory is the most important natural zone of all of Asia. The total area that belongs to him is 1153 km2, but under special supervision is about 258 km2 given area.
The Girsky Forest presents a magnificent plant world, as well as the world of animals. The reserve is the only place where Indian lions live, in whose honor he was conscious.
The air temperature in the Girsky forest is represented by fairly high thermometer. At the time of the summer heat, it can rise to 43 degrees Celsius. Here, very often, hot, stuffy weather is replaced by rainy seasons, which last for several months. At this time, the forest just floats from the flow of water. But there are periods when rains bypass this area and a long drought drops everywhere, which lasts a whole year.
As many as seven rivers on which dams are built run through the territory of the Girsky forest. With the help of these structures on the water, water bodies are formed, among which there is the most enormous in the entire region. For local wild inhabitants, at least 300 watering houses are ennobled here. When drought reigns in the territory, water scarcity is the main problem that they are trying to solve, first of all. The only hope at this time rests on the waters of Gira.
The most comfortable time in the Girsky forest is the period from late autumn to early spring. At this time, you can comfortably relax and admire the beauty of nature.
Sasan-Gir, this name has a local forest where mixed-type trees grow, among which teak tree predominates. There are also sections of thorny shrubs and evergreen landings. In total, the reserve has about 400 species of plants.
On the territory of the Girsky forest there are not a small number of animals, among which there are fairly rare varieties of herbivores, as well as reptiles. The birds of the reserve are presented in an extensive variety, here there are as many as 6 species of vulture. The park is also proud of large animals, including leopards, hyenas, jackals and many other wonderful four-legged animals.
But, of course, the Asian lion is the most important beast that is the culprit in creating a reserve in India in 1965. If at the date of the founding of the Girsky forest there were no more than 200 individuals, then closer to 2001 they multiplied to 325, and after another 4 years, 359 lions were counted here.
