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.

"Like... a male lion's father doesn't protect his children?
(I saw someone on another forum accusing lions of wanting only territory, food, and mating, saying they had no interest in protecting their children. Of course I don't agree, ex...Makkulu has seen her child be generous!)"
Males do protect and care about the cubs, but not to same degree as females, males firstly defend their territory, if they are defeated, but survive, they just leave their territory, pride and cubs behind.
They will not stay with pride and cubs anymore to defend them, unlike females, who will fight and die defending their cubs from those new males.
"For example, is it difficult or normal for the Liones to hunt buffalo?
(I often saw pictures of Mapogos hunting and eating buffalo, so I thought it was natural for the Liones Association to hunt buffalo.
But I saw someone talking about mr t's aggression and hunting buffalo or hippopotamus is proof of that.
So I wondered if the buffalo hunt, however male union, was very brave or a good hunter.
Also, it doesn't make sense to read someone's accusation that male lions don't hunt, but only steal the food of Pride.
This is because the Mapogos has always seen them settle their meals with their own game.)"
Its normal for lions to hunt buffalos, but it is difficult because its their largest prey they hunt, and very dangerous, lion can be easily killed by buffalo if he makes mistake.
Usually, males are more successful in hunting buffalos, because of their strenght, even 1 male can kill full adult buffalo, but females also can do it, especially if they are experienced and its more of them in a group.
Male lions do hunt when they need to hunt, even help their pride, they are better hunters then females, narative that females are better hunters is wrong. But when males are territorial, they often "steal" kills from their prides and other lions, because they can do it, as they are in charge, its easier to steal a kill then hunt.
Feel free to ask what you are interested in.
@Tr1x24 Great additions to this thread my friend, maybe it can see some life breathed into it.
