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.
A captive lion lives 25 years on average, so let's compare this to 80 human years, and not just 15 years which is the maximum age of wild lions. A man, without the benefits of food, shelter, medicine, hardly exceeds 50 years. A 15-year-old lion, therefore, is comparable to a man of about 50, he has now passed his best years, is worn out by the efforts of a hard life, but he is not physically so fragile. Simply, a person of 70-80 years does not survive in the state of wild nature, and this also applies to animals in relation to age.
