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.

Just to give you an idea about the growth rate differences between species...
Dharma is one of the oldest cats at the sanctuary, him, Tierra (tigress) and Kharmis (deceased lioness) were all raised together and they are around 2.5, luke, han and ali all slightly younger, around 2, they are all part of the "big pride" which has Michael the Jaguar (same age as the lions), it did have the "nightmares" (white tiger siblings who became to aggressive with some of the pride members, enzo and Basho, basho is the white tiger seen next to lotus the lion a few pages back)
The big pride also has Alcyone and Atzlan, two tiger siblings slightly younger than these guys, probably 1.5ish and Dolano (lioness) and a few other lioness.
It's truly amazing to see Lions, Tigers, Leopards and Jaguars all living together in a pride and they all love each other greatly.
Will this last when they are adults?
Probably not, but my guess will be some will handle it and enjoy it while others will get tired of the life and want their own space. Still amazing to see while it lasts
