It is definitely better to find a second home for lions in Kuno for many good reasons which Sabyasachi has listed.

Dr. Johnsingh - India's seniormost wildlife biologist vouches Kuno as home for lions for the prey density is good and habitat is very similar to Gir .(Ref: Field Days).

However it is disturbing to note that lions from captivities are planned for relocation in to Kuno. It is better to persuade Gujarat to part few wild lions for translocation.

A pride comprising more young lionesses can be identified for translocation as they can easily accustom to the new conditions and can bringdown prey for the whole pride.

It is doubtful whether a captive lion can survive in wild conditions.
