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.
Here is the original credit with caption for more context. It does appear the Proud Flesh has fallen off. The caption sounds a bit concerning but maybe it’s an overreaction?
“ And now a sad story and simply a part of the animal kingdom’s history: there were 4 dominant male lions. One died and currently of the 3 dominant males left, one was gored by a buffalo 2 years ago and stayed alive with part of his stomach hangin out. We spotted him and there is good news and bad news. The good news is the wound is slowly healing. The bad news is he hasn’t been able to hunt and lives off of the kills made by the female lions, which he shared with several other lions. He isn’t getting as much food as he needs and he is thin for a lion. We could see the outline of his ribs. You can see his wound in this photo”
