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.
According with the study of Barnett et al. (2009), modern lions never mix with the cave lions, there is no trace of genetic intermix and taking in count the time of separation, they could exclude themselves like different species. Remember that American lions (Panthera atrox) also never intermix with the Alaskan cave lions (Panthera spelaea), even when they are more closely related.
