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.

Sure you can stay with your brothers for safety. But that means that you have to compete with them for food and sex. While if you take some risk and alone time and seek out the other parts of the pride. You can have it all for yourself.
But the drawback is that if you are caught alone. You may not make it to your brothers in time. But the chances of that happening are slim.
