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.

Hassan el wazzan mentioned in his book,in the 16 Th century that the lions of Morocco are two types, those that lived in the plains close to the ocean and the ones that lived in the mountains! The ones that lived in the plains were more robust and fierce while the mountain lions were shy and not the same size.
Can you tell the name of Hassan's book? Is it in Arabic of English?
The book: Description of Africa
Writer: Johannes Leo Africanus (born al-Hasan Muhammad al-Wazzan al-Fasi)
