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.

I, personally, believe that Nature takes into account such instances, as they are bound to occur, and believe it has little to no affect on the offspring. As an example, I always point to Loonkito, a wild male killed by humans just before he turned 20, as he had been dominant over the same pride for so long that I read he had actually bred with his daughters, and possibly his granddaughters who were also his daughters. I have not read of any troubles within that pride from this happening.
