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.
Really sad to see the demise of such iconic lions. Their decline has been heartbreakingly rapid. I think the death/disappearance of Golden Mane was the hammer blow to their chances of survival. He was quite a bit younger than his two brothers and therefore likely to be fitter. Just my personal theory but his loss would have significantly reduced their efficacy as a hunting unit.
