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.

WITH LOVE FROM THE NAINI TAL ZOO
They thought this tiger had killed and eaten a woman. He was arrested and charged, but denied. The video, however, says he knew more about the case than he was willing to admit. In the end, he got a life sentence:
AND KRUGER TOO
When things went from bad to worse in Mocambique some years ago, hundreds of thousands left the country. Many of them wanted to move to South Africa, but they didn't want them over there. This is the reason the refugees used the Kruger Park to enter South Africa. They came at night. Not a few of them were received by lions. Although the exact number is unknown, rangers guessed that hundreds were killed and eaten by lions.
Some stories of survivors were posted a few years ago. It was a nightmare for those who thought trees offered some kind of safety.
The reason they suspected lions were involved, apart from the stories of the refugees who survived the ordeal at night, was the different attitude. Many rangers noticed a change in attitude.
The male in the video is an example. When they found him with a lioness, he acted bold and aggressive. He no doubt wanted to discourage them, but the method used was somewhat different from your average male lion interested in a lioness. He seemed to have lost all respect for twolegs.
