Survey - The Future of Big Cats

[Spalea]

Your discussion reminds me of a book "the last tigers" from Tony Black edited during the 1990s and in which it was still told that tigers were everywhere... But in fact nowhere ! Of course they spoke about dense jungles and forests in India, Vietnam, Indonesia where the tigers could be... They spoke always of the Sumatra wild forest where 600 to 800 tigers lived. Every country inflates or exaggerates its statistics. But in fact, only the tiger's spirit was present like a lost myth.

Of course, even the big cats, like tigers and lions are very adaptable animals. In Asia and Africa there are perhaps still some millions square kilometer of wild habitat where these big cats are able, potentially, to live. But we don't have to fantasize: if these animals thrived, it would be thank to the human extinction. In the meantime they always represent a drawing power for candid men in mood of strong sensations and easy to delude.

Inside Gabon, lions were completely forgotten. And just one lion has reappeared through a camera lens ! Miracle ! We started to speculate again but wild animals don't never forget, they try to live despite the humans and become very very discreet. Reply
