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.

Only surviving genes are in Othawa and Mhangeni prides and their descendants.
I don't really agree on the genetics of the best. It helps? Sure, but there is a lot of luck, think of Kinky Tail, he had excellent genetics, he was sturdy and courageous, but the numerical inferiority fooled him. The 5° Maginjilane was also huge for being young, much older than Mr. T and KT, yet he found himself, too young and inferior and could not reproduce. That's why I think the man should intervene, in some cases. Leaving it to nature means having to accept the disappearance of species as well as individuals.
