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.
"This huge lion, estimated to weight well over 450 pounds was radio collared for research and conservation. Tanzania does not allow for fences that would separate humans and wild animals so programs such as this help animals and humans coexist. The lion is so large and powerful he is able to successfully hunt male buffalo on his own. We were fortunate to have been able to witness the repairs to his radio collar (and the hole in his neck) damage sustained from a buffalo’s horn."

Too bad they didn't get his exact weight during the capture.
