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.

I believe that is one of the many reasons for a site like WildFact to exist, to document those stories, and preserve them for future generations of people who wish to follow them. Their stories will be there for all to see, and when someone has a question about a specific lion, or a specific story, then they will ask those of us who are still here, but there is no doubt that those lions will be remembered. I mean, how many people remember King Henry I (I just grabbed a random name, I know nothing of him personally), or more importantly how many people still discuss him today? If not for the documentation for those interested, we would know nothing of him, that and the fact that there were at least 7 more that followed. Such documentation of the lives of these lions is exactly what we all do here, in what I, personally, truly consider to be the best community on the Web.
Sites like WildFact exist so that all the animals discussed here do get remembered, their stories told, recorded and preserved for those coming behind us that are interested in learning about them. That gets directly to the point I made about the availability of information today, as opposed to just 15-20 years ago. I, for one, have been around since well before the Internet, and so there are tons of things from before 1992, give or take, that have been lost to the sand of time, the Internet has changed that in immeasurable ways, most importantly the stories of today will exist for anyone that may wish to learn of them, assuring that those stories remain for all, thus no lions from today will be forgotten.
