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.

Yeah,Or also could exist that he hasn't eat nothing for days, As often happens in the lions, The Talamati male could be patrolling or stressed,I think that, A small prey can full his belly very well.

Yes,of course,This things happens in 1 of 100 lions,Obviously to some lions, Doesn't affect it as might affect to another one,But,Definitely,Very tough disease.
