Since our best 2 mod of lion section is no more active here, we decided to add a new mod for one of best section on WildFact - The lion section.
So far @Tshokwane and @Ngala have done very good job in providing informative posts on WildFact and also they maintain very good balance as a moderator. Lion section thrived and done better than Other popular section like Tiger section on WildFact. Not only our mod but members also kept the momentum and kept posting, videos, images and information in different thread.

Now we are looking for mod who can maintain the Lion section and keep balance.

So, if you think you are good fit, please send PM or reply here and try to explain what you can do to make Lion section on of the best information on entire web

The no 1 requirement is you need to be active and balanced person, no immature content, no biasedness for particular lion coalition and above all treating all animal equals . Control the situation and make sure post are according to rules of forum. No fights and silly thing. You need to be balanced and try to understand the problem of any new or old posters.

Other mods will help you.

So what I've noticed is that gigantism in sauropods, contrary to what most books and articles will tell you, seems to be rather widespread and maybe even patchy.
Overall, there don't seem to be many very large sauropods up until ~160 million years ago, when 75 tonne Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum and ~50 tonne Xinjiangtitan appear on the scene. The next giant sauropods are all concentrated in North America, Europe, and Africa (they were joined at the time) from 150 to 145 million years ago. There was Supersaurus (35-40 tonnes, found in North America and Europe), Camarasaurus (47 tonnes, North America), Turiasaurus (50 tonnes, Europe), Brachiosaurus (at least 50 tonnes, found in North America, Europe, and Africa), Apatosaurus (up to 95 tonnes, North America), and Barosaurus (up to 100 tonnes, found in North America and Africa). After that, there aren't many known giant sauropods up until ~125 million years ago, with the 2 most prominent examples (Ruyangosaurus and Sauroposeidon, at 100 and 60 tonnes respectively) from China and North America. Around 100 million years ago, South America explodes as a giant dinosaur haven and stays that way till the end of the Mesozoic. You have Patagotitan (69 tonnes, subadult), Andesaurus (40-70 tonnes), Argentinosaurus (73 plus tonnes), Futalognkosaurus (50 tonnes), Notocolossus (76 tonnes), Dreadnoughtus (44 tonnes and a juvenile), and Puertasaurus (100 tonnes), in that order chronologically from around 100 million years ago to the end of the Mesozoic. Meanwhile, in Europe, there's the French Monster from 110-100 million years ago, an unnamed titanosaur known from a 2.75 meter femur, and in Africa, Paralititan at 70 tonnes. And at the end of the Mesozoic in North America, there's Alamosaurus, which is theorized to have reached Argentinosaurus territory mass wise.
So it looks like sauropod gigantism seems to be a bit more random than is commonly thought.

From my personal observation on many captive Bengals.Most of them were 380-400 lbs and 90-95 cm at shoulder height.We know that Wild Bengals are much larger on average and maximum than wild Siberians in shoulder height, total length,weight, Skull width and skull weight while captive Bengals are smaller than wild in every dimension.Why?

Why are you exclusively interested in animals? Life is much more diverse. the Tiger against the lion is a very small part of the amazing world. You can go further.

What interests you besides animals?

Goats and sheep are among the ungulates classified under the subfamily of Caprinæ within the family of Bovidæ: https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Bovidae/

Here are some news items I collected in the past week regarding caprines:

- Spain's capital city, Madrid, was flooded by a huge flock of sheep migrating to southern pastures: https://www.dw.com/en/madrid-deluged-by-...g-50908265



- In the northernmost Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, a goat got stuck for 5 days on Jabal Jais, which is the highest mountain in the UAE, located in the Ru'us Al-Jibal (literally "Heads of Mountains"; the northwestern part of the Hajar Mountains, located in the Musandam Peninsula south of the Strait of Hormuz), but because the summit is in Oman, the highest peak in the UAE is that of Jabal Yibir or Jebel Al-Mebrah nearby. It then got rescued by Ras Al Khaimah Civil Defence: https://gulfnews.com/uae/watch-rak-rescu...2484745603, https://www.thenational.ae/uae/watch-eme...n-1.930907

In your opinion, what are some of the most formidable meat eating dinosaurs at parity and why?
For me, it's abelisaurids (due to bulk and strong bite), carnosaurs (large gapes, large skulls, deadly serrated teeth, and large forearms), dromaeosaurs (claws, jaws, and agility), and tyrannosaurs (large heads and crushing jaws).

The national animal of the UAE is the Arabian or white oryx (Oryx leucoryx). Even if the oryx was chosen for the purpose of conservation, this may surprise you, because one animal that comes to mind when talking about the Arabian Peninsula or the Middle East is the camel, particularly the one-humped dromedary or Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius). Given the camel's ability to travel large distances, without having to drink water for at least 3 days even in hot circumstances, it was a preferred beast of burden for Arabs or Middle Easterners for travelling large distances across the harsh deserts of the area, besides the first European immigrants to Australia, who took along with them Asian cameleers to help them explore the continent.

Nowadays, with modern transport, Arabs, Middle Easterners, Asians and Australians don't need camels (whether single-humped dromedaries or double-humped Bactrians (Camelus bactrianus; as opposed to the wild Camelus ferus)) to travel large distances, but they nevertheless retain their agricultural and cultural significance, besides being useful for tourism, similar to cattle and horses put together: https://gulfnews.com/uae/camels-a-key-pa...e-1.603548

What's more, the camel's relationship with humans, whether for friendly or unfriendly, stretches back thousands of years, as evidenced by an archaeological site in the remote western region of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, which was discovered in 2008. This site is in the paleontological Baynunah Formation, dating to the Upper Miocene, and it was where humans of the Late Stone Age used flint to massacre a group of camels gathered around a lake about 6,000 years ago, when the Arabian Peninsula had more vegetation and fauna than now, somewhat resembling Africa. Considering the great age of the site, the Department of Culture and Tourism of Abu Dhabi reckoned that the camel was first domesticated in what is now the UAE: https://tcaabudhabi.ae/DataFolder/report...df#page=27, https://abudhabiculture.ae/en/discover/p...camel-site, https://www.emirates247.com/news/emirate...1-1.647488

I already posted this around 2 weeks ago, but I am posting it again to try and gain more responses.

My name is Amy and I am a third-year student at Nottingham Trent University. I am studying for my BSc Wildlife Conservation degree, and I have created this questionnaire to determine public perceptions of birds of prey in Northern Ireland compared to England. The data received will be analysed and interpreted for my dissertation. All returned questionnaires will be completely anonymous, so please answer all questions honestly.

‘Birds of prey’ and ‘raptors’ may be used interchangeably throughout.

In total, there are 15 mandatory questions and 6 optional questions. However, if you do not want to answer a question, you do not need to.

It would be massively appreciated if you could fill this in. It only takes a few minutes of your time. Here is the link:

Deleted thread. I have acquired what I need

Defining a 'grizzly' as a brown bear native to North America, a number of forms of grizzlies used to be recognised, though due to recent genetic tests, the number of 'subspecies' or 'species' have been reduced. 2 forms that I'd like to start with are the extinct Californian grizzly and Kodiak bear. The Kodiak bear is the largest extant brown bear, comparable in size to the polar bear, with a maximum recorded weight of about 2,200 lbs (998 kg).

Previously, as I mentioned earlier, there was another massive brown bear that could also rival a polar bear with a maximum recorded weight of about 2,200 pounds (998 kg), that is the Californian grizzly, which apparently got extinct in 1924, due to conflict with humans over space or cattle (which were taken as prey).
