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.
We recently had one of the Thumbela males mating with the Ottawa female. This happened even though she herself had young cubs already. Perhaps this is to ensure that the males know that these cubs are theirs and thereby reducing the chance that he kills the cubs.
