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.
Everybody, except you, in this forum would say that the asiatic lions population is not an healthy one. Descending from a dozen individuals how could it be otherwise ? More, all the attempts, efforts to make them living in an other place of India have been in vain...
This discussion started when Nyala noted, judisciously, that some asiatic lions had a slight squint.
In fact you speak as you were of one of these indian administrators who refuses to admit this reality. Yes, they are 523 now, but in a too small territory according to this number. If an epidemic broke out, they could be all helled.
