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.

These lions don't even look close to their wild counterparts as they have little amount of fat on them. The heavy manes on theses lions are entirely dependent on the climate.

Generally reserves have sometimes captive ones and wild ones. Reserve generally have nothing to do with captive animals and they shouldnt be linked to that. But some offer hunting and so on (Selati Game Reserve). Just because a lion is overweight it doesnt mean he is captive but the assumption is reasonable of course.

The second lion doesnt look fat and looks quite normal but he is gorged
