Ahmedabad: Flyers at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (SVPI) airport in the city will soon hear the roar of lions amid the roar of jet engines.
Ahmedabad airport authorities have recreated Gir jungle in the area between the arrival and departure zones of the airport. Models of Asiatic lions, deer, leopard, and birds have been installed in the airport jungle. The display also features chital and blackbuck. A pride of lions drinks from a waterhole.
Manoj Gangal, the airport director, said that the display is interactive. If visitors gesture at these lions, they roar while one can hear the cries of other Gir dwellers. The Gir jungle has been planned on the lines of the butterfly park at the Singapore airport, where the butterflies are real.
