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.

I am not sure the title is worded correctly, but I found this very interesting.
@ around 36:00 of this video, see what is discussed by Packer about Wild Dog #'s in lion inhabited areas compared to Cheetah. Cheetah #'s seem pretty even throughout 3 decades while Lion #'s have increased in the Serengeti, while wild dogs directly correalate to Lion #'s. The more lion's the less wild dogs even in the midst of a massive protection project to save them. It got me thinking of Dhole, and how rare they are. Especially in a Tiger territory, same with wolf. Does this have to Canines being less equip to deal with the massive felines, what hypothesis do you guys have for this?
Can we tell how big cats are doing by the number of wild dogs in the area?
