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.

Skin which appears lumpy and discontinous is a clear sign that there is fat as muscle and skin is continuous unless there is fat under skin which cause lumpiness and irregularities. If he was fatter, then his obliques won't be visible. Only way an animal can be fat than other is when one is less defined than other. In this case, both have equally visible obliques which is an indication both have similar fat percentages. Larger, bulkier cats have less visibility of obliques and other muscle groups. If you look at ximpoko (wild) aslan and Jahari. All had no definition and all were 250 kgs. There are private reserves where lions look wild in building and only a very few where lions appear fat.
