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 say it and I repeat it. Lions are very good fathers, when it's feeding time, they take better care of the tiny cuibs even better than their mothers. They let the little ones feed of their kill, chasing away the lionesses who would eat it all themselves and leave little or nothing for the cubs.
