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.

Yes, I looked that closer. Interesting thing is, that based on what Borrago has observed, lions seem to be able to perform in these tests no matter if captive or not. That then again is interesting difference when tigers seem to react in different way.
Anyway my point from the beginning has been, that it is very nice and interesting, that someone is making these tests or should I say, started to do those. Hopefully in future it would be possible to see results from wild tigers too. One would think, that Borrago gets/have got feedback about tigers concerning that research. She say herself, that more research is needed. I am too interested to know, how results change if/when wild tigers do comparable tests with other big cats. This kind of test is at least quite motivating to all. Of course with captive animals it can be made sure, that they are hungry. Wild tiger after all can ignore prey or carcass totally if it is not hungry. So it can take time to test many tigers and be sure, that they were interested to get that meat.
