A wounded male rests by a creek after losing a fight over a lioness to another male. Given the fierce competition in Gir, many of its male lions neither control territory nor mate, creating a strong incentive to roam beyond the sanctuarys borders. Lions routinely leave the forest, causing conflict with nearby farmers and herders.
