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.
I doubt it. It takes a lot of force to rip flesh and skin like this and it seems bone might be damaged aswell. This is not something you just do accidentally or even intentionally as a lion or we would see a lot worse after fights.
Its more likely this was a hunt gone wrong. Perhaps a warthog or something.
