While this breed of lions is quite stunning, there aren’t many of them left. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies them as an endangered species on its Red List of Threatened Species. There are only around 490 Asiatic lions left on the planet and efforts put into saving the species haven’t gone well.
This is why each lion’s life is worth so much to the villagers.
