Lion Drowns Near Gujarat Port Following Territorial Clash with Other Lions
A lion approximately six years old drowned in the Arabian Sea near Gujarat's Pipavav Port after a territorial clash with two other lions. The incident occurred on Monday near Patva village, where three lions were spotted. The lion reportedly entered the sea attempting to escape and find a safer area but likely exhausted itself while swimming. Its carcass was found the next day near the port's jetty. Forest officials confirmed the details and noted that male lions often fight over territory, with the weaker ones fleeing.
