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.

What a coincidence. I just posted this (https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-barbary...6#pid82426), but anyway, I'm surprised by that diorama because I thought that in the Levant, lions had become extinct in the south (Israel cum Palestine) during the Crusades in the Middle Ages, but that they had survived in Syria in the north up to the late 19th Century, possibly as late as 1891 in the area of Aleppo (https://archive.org/stream/bookoflion191...arch/syria, https://archive.org/stream/journalofbomb...2/mode/2up, https://archive.org/stream/mammalsofsov2...0/mode/2up, https://zookeys.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=2126), as stated by Professor Khalaf-von-Jaffa himself (https://web.archive.org/web/200711121323..._Lion.html).
