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.
A grieving proces is nothing more than our instincts punishing us for losing a loved one. You lost your cub/pall so now suffer and do better next time. Nothing romantic, human or special about that.
A wild animal gets past this rather quickly as they tend to live more in the present and showing a weakness can be dangerous. But I know tigers that lost their partner weeks ago and suddenly started contact calling and still did so for weeks.
