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.
The fact that DM can even stand and walk after being essentially a soccer ball for those Buffaloes is a testament to how tough these lions are. Their bodies take a LOT but many times they are able to keep going. DM has had many challenges, but this will be his biggest one yet. As others have already stated there are a plethora of serious risks for him in this state, internal bleeding, inability to get food, attacks by other predators.
This is going to be a tough hill to climb for DM. I hope he’s able to overcome but it’s not looking good right now.
