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.
He's enormous! But, is it really that common for people to simply walk freely among these creatures? I know we've seen the videos of guys on scooters and such, but this just seems crazy. Nothing good, for either party, can come from such proximities.
I know right. Sure, the Gir Lions are unnaturally laid back, especially compared to Bengals or their African cousins. But some people there think it's a pass to inch closer and closer like they want to pet the damn thing, even saw one guy even giving the lion a cow to snap a "cool" video of the takedown. Albeit that probably doesn't happen much lol, but of course if the lions start to snap they'll be put up in a cage or shot... The guys in the video look like guards, which I heard are apparently supposed follow the lions to protect them. So I wonder if this is a pressing issue there or just their version of coexistence haha.
