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.

Wild carnivores and humans compared

Here are more close up photos of the lion that our Senior Research Assistant James unofficially refers to as, "The Big Guy." The lioness with the collar already on is Bridget. She watched from a nearby thicket while the UCP team fitted him with the collar, took research photos, and checked on his overall health, which included a quick peek at his canines and paws. Lions are also identifiable by their unique whisker spots, which helps researchers. Another photo shows the team carefully moving him away from a dense cluster of thorns so that he wouldn't hurt himself when he woke up. A hard, but rewarding day's work!
