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.

Thousands, litterarly thousands of lions! For example in just one day, Julio Cesar killed 500 animals, in JUST ONE DAY!!! This is like the entire population of Indian lions! Interestingly this great feat (the transportation of the animals) do not took more than one year, which shows that Romans had already the capacity to transport large numbers of animals. However, on the other side, it is known that half of the transported animals died of stress in the transport, so we are taking of about 1,000 lions transported from North Africa for the celebration of the Cesar.
