There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I don't think his injuries were life threatening, I think they just wanted to save the eye. People simply can't keep their hands to themselves, because one less eye wouldn't have changed much.
In any case, the difference in Mara lions is that they shift territories much more than SS lions, but they still need to be strong to keep what they conquer.
