Gir Forest

In this era where technology has got its hook in us so deep, we cannot lend a deaf ear to anything. Everything is just one click away. It is at our disposal.

According to some sources, it is believed that the cow was just kept there to lure the lion in. Well, we all know how biodiversity works; it is the survival of the fittest. In the ecosystem, a carnivore is always searching for an herbivore as he is the predator and the herbivore is its prey. We all are well acquainted with the prey-predator chain. So, it was quite vicious of someone to do that. Nowadays, people leave no stone upturned to capitalize on everything, then minting likes and views from social media and digital platforms to shell out some money.
