A pride of seven lions was spotted roaming around on a road in Gujarat's Junagadh on Friday night, very close to the popular Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary, home to Asiatic lions.
A passerby shot the video of the lions strolling in the city's Bhavnath area and shared it on social media.
The widely-shared video shows the lions searching for food on a rainy night.
Per the last census of Asiatic lions in 2015, there were 523 lions in and around Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in Saurashtra region of Gujarat.
