Two adult lions, one male and a female, were found strolling in Gandhigram area of Junagadh city on Saturday early morning. They moved around the locality on the outskirts of the city for over 20 minutes and then went back to the forest.
This is the second such incident when the wild cats have crossed the forest border to enter the Junagadh Municipal Corporation (JMC) area.
