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 always said that the tawny coat is not a set in stone trait for the lions, even from them prehistoric times.
The latest 10.000 yo frozen tawny lions discovered in Siberia should be taken with a grain of salt!
My two cents.
