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.

What's going on with his mouth in these two pictures? Looks almost like his jaw is broken, or his teeth are missing.
The Styx male has this problem with his jaw for a years now, I doubt it that is a broken jaw, because the teeths on other pictures are visibles ,I believe which might be an problem with the gum or perhaps he suffer a kick while he was hunting a prey (Giraffe,Kudu,Zebra etc).
Honestly, I don't know how he got it but he has this for a long time ago, but if you see clearly, he is very well feed despite the injury, so he doesnt need "help" for now
