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.

Actually a few others were poisoned as well, I think a confirmed 2 have been lost thus far. But others were treated and doing better, a 2 year old male is one of them who were treated. I'll look up the info and post it in a minute.

Edit:
Here you go

We don't have words for this..
Our Bibi is no more ;( RIP Bibi.(1998-2015)

"RIP Bibi! BIBI was horrifically and painfully poisoned by local Maasai people after the pride killed one of their cows.
A second lion is also thought to have died and 5 more in critical condition.
The Maasai's wealth and livelihood is dependent on their cattle. The future of our planet is dependent on wildlife having a place and a home.
We must find a solution to the human/ wildlife conflict.
Bibi - you were a legendary lioness, possibly the oldest in the Masai Mara. You brought forth many of the generation we see today.
Your death is tragic and I am so so sad your beautiful spirit is no longer with us...
