Known for its distinctive belly flap and the bushy tassels on its tail, the Asiatic lion once roamed from the Mediterranean Sea to the Bay of Bengal. But human hunting and expansion into their territory eroded the lions' numbers, until only twelve remained alive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow more than six hundred lions stalk the forest and savannahs of Gir -- thanks in part to the work of the \"Lion Queens,\" a team of female rangers who specialize in caring for the Asiatic lions.
