The lion is a comparatively rare animal in India now but is very abundant in Africa. \*Felis chaus\* is an example of a species which probably originated in India and is still common here. However it has also extended its range into Africa. The total disappearance from India of \*Hippopotamus\*, \*Giraffa\* and antelopes of modern African genera is striking and difficult to explain. - [Previous: v1.c20.s1.t3.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.15) - [Next: v1.c20.s1.t3.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.17) - [Up: v1.c20.s1.t3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.16) · Pramāṇa
