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.

Quote:The Homob male in Pilannesberg for example weighed 237kgs (pers coms Gus Van

Dyk) but he had just eaten- so arguably you can take of at least 20-30kg

Quote:The lions were being held in a temporary holding camp of about a quarter of hectare prior to release and were fed whole carcasses while in the camp. I could thus say with confidence when they had last eaten. 

Quote:The three lions were all immobilised together and had not eaten for four days (they were thus regarded as having “empty” stomachs).


So I´m a bit confused right now. 

First email said they had eaten before weighing. And second email has two conflicting sentences regarding the food content.
