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.

Good to see you here, Chaos. We haven't started debates anywhere just yet, but I'll inform you as soon as we are in business. You ok? Interested in politics?

As for the copied and pasted old posts. I agree it's good info, but I would prefer a bit more clarity. I propose to cut and paste in the future, meaning I'd like to see a bit more structure. You could post on any topic regarding lions and concentrate on it. A title would also help. Same for pictures. Everything for readability.

Today I saw a new documentary on the BBC. Lions and elephants. Northern part of the Kalahari (Botswana). A bit like the Okavango Delta, but less rain. In the months without rain, all animals come to the few remaining drinking holes. These are controlled by lions. As they live in prides, they need to hunt large animals. A pride just starting out as a pride (young animals mostly and no resident male) went for elephants. They killed 15 in just two months. Not big bulls, but calves, young animals and animals close to death on account of not enough water and food.

Why did they decide for elephant? Bad conditions, many elephants and calves, many weak animals and opportunities. Big cats are opportunists and lions have to weigh need, opportunity, risk and ability. Great documentary. See it if you can.
