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.

Heres what he said about that common problem of the rear hip just wasting away, some lions have a black patchy spot with no hair too. He was commenting on a pic of the Birmingham #7 sub unfortunately after his 6 bros left the area....

Nice work. 

This "black patch" disease was discussed here numerous times, but nobody actually knew what it is, some think it has to do with TB some with another condition, but now we actually know that it is prob Babesiosis. 

Apparently there is few species of this disease, which might explain why some lions are little to no affected, some live long with it, and some die quickly.
