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.

To me it just shows that Lions arent indiscriminate killers like most people think .... the Alpha males dont see them as a threat but they do take into account: posture, setting a pecking order, amount of food at the kill and probably sex. Young males starting to show size, or have an aggressive attitude, growing manes and interest in females are possibly seen as threats and so they are pushed out. On the flip side of that, I think they also might kill another lion that is too weak or sick .... that is a guess though ... Im no expert but thats just my stab on how I see it.
