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 actually had too much overconfidence in the past that turned out to backfire on them. I'm surprised the smaller one is still a viable coalition partner, actually. He looks ragged nowadays. At one point, I thought at least one of them would end up like the Guernsey Male....who clearly bit off more than he could chew.
The less dominant (by far) S. Avoca is a survivor.
My point is that being submissive isn't something bad or horrible in the world of lions.
