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.
Lions with hip injuries may have some muscle atrophy but are overall fine. Even females like Purple Eye in the recent Mala Mala video has some muscle loss on a leg she injured but she’s not wasting away with open wounds on her hip. This is a very specific condition that eats away the muscle (legs but also the overall condition of the lion) and I have never seen any females with it.
