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.

Also. The argument that we don't see something therefor it cannot happen is kind of flawed. There is no magic forcefield that prevents a lion from doing something we don't expect.
I have followed lions for a while and I have never heard of even one case of a group of lionesses killing or badly injuring an adult male lion. Lionesses do show aggression toward males or put up a fight when their cubs are in danger but it never escalates to a killing. 'The argument that we don't see something therefor it cannot happen is kind of flawed', assuming something to be true without evidence is equally flawed if not more.
Well there was Zuri a while back in Indianapolis Zoo.
Ultimately neither of us has any evidence to prove or disprove anything. But we should have an open mind.
A zoo is different, we are talking about wild lions here. Captive lions aren't a true reflection of how wild lions behave, I just need one report from a lodge or a wildlife expert and I'll be totally onboard with this, I have an open mind toward anything with evidence. And, I don't have to prove anything, you're making a claim so the burden of proof is on you.
