NHK's popular nature program "Darwin Has Come!" (General) will air "Survive in India! Asia's Last Lion" from 7:30 pm on Getsuku. The program will reveal the life of the Indian lion, "Asia's last lion," which lives in the forests of India and is very different from lions in Africa.

India is the only place outside of Africa where wild lions live. With only 900 left, the Indian lion is endangered. After a long-term close observation, we discovered a unique lifestyle that differs from that of African lions.

At night, they appear in groups in town, females engage in romantic games with multiple males, and you can even witness the dramatic moment when a young male grows up and rises to become the king of the pack.

A look into the mysterious life of the rare Indian lion.
