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.

Logic: if these apes were indeed lion-killers, such ferocious beasts would have long ago spread throughout Africa as a dominating species. However, they are rather large apes. Edgar Rice Burrough's fans claim them to be the 'mangani' which were the great apes which adopted the infant, Tarzan.
Just like the infinite amount of gorilla/primate/human-fanatics out there, mass media also overrates the typical (and exceptional) behavior of all primates, making them cold-blooded, savage, infinitely-strong killers, when in reality, these are peaceful and socially-conducting creatures that are notably more herbivorous and possess strength that always pales in comparison to a lion (or most medium/larger-sized predators).
