Biodiversity of Devalia

The Crown Jewel of Devalia Ecosystem

Devalia Interpretation Zone houses a healthy population of carnivores and herbivores in a natural dry deciduous teak wood habitat.

Species Profile

The Asiatic Lion (Panthera leo persica)

Distinguished by a longitudinal fold of skin running along its belly and a darker, shorter mane compared to African lions, the Asiatic Lion is the pride of Gujarat. Devalia Safari Park offers one of the best locations in the world to observe natural lion behavior, pride feeding, and territory marking up close.

Devalia Safari Park serves as a critical breeding and conservation education hub where visitors can observe Asiatic lions in near-wild 412-hectare open enclosures.
