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.

They look like marks a lion gets fighting at least 2 lions, not 2v1 necessarily, but a situation where a second lion can ( even if briefly ) bite the rival's back while he faces a second one.
In fights for mating rights between 2 males, female often get involved and she also attacks 1 of the males.
Reason for that is not known, lions just sometimes fight for no reason when fight happens, or maybe she is favoring certain male at that time and wants to get rid of another.
