Asiatic Lion, as known as Indian Lion, is an endangered species of India which is sub-species of Lion family. Originally it was widely to be found from Mediterranean Sea to southern Asia, but as a lot of reason, now only has 250-300 lions living in Gir Forest National Park, Gujarat.

The cover also features Smooth Indian Otter (印度水獺), however it is out of my collecting range.
