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.

"The tiger lowers its head and sticks to the ground which is typical submissive behavior. " No, submission is different, much different. See that picture with body postures above. When tiger flattens body to the ground, he is on alert, awaiting an attack. Which makes sense in context of the situation. And when he finally lies on the ground (in 1:02), his message is "leave me alone". But the lion did not respect that, so the tiger chased him away...so what submission?
