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.

James Tyrell: " The twitch or slightly retracted lip sometimes seen in lions (visible here in the left lip of the male lying down) is apparently a symptom of tetanus. Along with TB and a few other diseases, lions are usually just carriers, and it doesn’t affect them too much unless other circumstances lead to greatly deteriorated health and the disease can kick in properly.
I’m pretty sure it was tetanus (the lip thing) but it was a few years ago that I was told this and might have mixed it up with something else. "
