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.

Fascinating, a lion of 60 kg. I think is pretty logic that if there are dwarf mammals in those same islands, there could be dwarf lions too.
However, we most be careful, as this great cat could be also a leopard, a jaguar or a dwarf member of Panthera fossilis (all these species lived in Europe). It came to my mind the case of the Sri Lanka "lions", which are said to be lions, based only in the form of the tooth. [img]images/smilies/dodgy.gif[/img]
There is any document tied to this news? I would like the read something more.
