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.

Ultimately, this is the real face of male lions. Not the noble kings that people make them out to be, but ruthless abusive men whose job is to keep out other ruthless abusive men.
I think we have been lulled in a false sense of peace as things were calm for a while. But now we are getting more coalitions again. We probably can expect more deaths in the upcomming years.
There are no ruthless abusive men here. There is no nobility either. There are animals, which act according to criteria which are specific to them, in a circumstantial or perhaps strategic way.
We just aren't always able to know or understand all of the interactions between lions, or how certain circumstances make them act one way over another.
Let us beware of any anthropomorphism.
Logical or not to us, killing a lioness or a subadult may make sense to them.
