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.

If I'm not mistaken, Kruger lions have the largest skulls compared to other lion subspecies. Look at the white Kruger lions at Black Jaguar White Tiger rescue center. All of them have larger skulls compared to other lions like Han, Luke, etc.

This is a nasty one, hopefully something was learned about security issues. But painful experience for that tiger :/ Not nice to watch.

@Shadow :

About #1599: it's the title of the video which precises that the male lion saves the tiger*. Even if it isn't very clear on the movie. But it's quite stupid to put lions' and tigers' cage so close or in connection. The intervention of the male lion makes the lionness let go of the tiger's nail.

Yes, other lion clearly distracts or even slap/push the one mauling tail of that tiger.  Lioness wasn´t going to let go otherwise. Horrific situation and luckily that male lion acted as it did. I just hope, that no permanent damage to that tail.

Yes quite horrific accident, quite daft... And painful to watch. And now, so what ? Tail infected or not, he tiger isn't going to forget that. Bad cohabitation involves bad resentment among animals.

Hopefully enclosure is improved at least with better fence. Some net (steel) to prevent possibility to grab part of another animal in next enclosure. It would be cheap and easy to prevent this kind of situations. What happened, happened, but no need to leave risk for another round. Naturally no idea what happened after that.

I see it in the thickness and They must be of same frame size.
Aslan is much more dense compared to Aragon and may be few inches taller at the shoulder
