Gir Somnath

‘Bedhia Nar’s’ three little cubs were left motherless about two years ago. The cubs were just three months old then, and very vulnerable to the dangers of the jungle.

While flight would be the natural reaction of most people, one 7-year-old boy became a local hero after rescuing his friend from a vicious leopard attack in the village of Arathiya in the Gir-Somnath district of Gujarat.
