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.
Dongo knows he's photogenic and pauses to pose for the paparazzi!
You will often find jackals in close proximity to lions, leopards and cheetahs. The big cats are often followed by these small canids. Not because the jackals are awe-struck and think they're in the presence of a super-star, but because they hope to benefit from the scraps leftover after the big cat has hunted and had his fill.
A bit of a sobering thought for when you're the subject of public adulation and run the risk of a swollen head!
