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.

I agree it offers a good visual distraction to the opponent, and often can deflect and opponents bite attempts. While the mane won't always protect a lion in a fight, it's better than no protection.
