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.

But how can this thing happen? Idk, its so reckless, they know such a drainage lines are perfect hidding spots for leopards, they need to clear the site first before entering it (gun shots, sounds, dogs etc.)
They kill the animal which they came to protect..so sad..

First Hukumuri, now Hosana killed by humans..
Apparently, according to this video, Hosana was known for stalking humans on foot, including mock charges like he did to Tristan in this video.

I love Tristan, but that was so reckless move, on foot standing 10 m away and facing Hosana, who was clearly alert and frighten..
I mean, he loves Hosana, but what if he charged at him?? They would also shot him..
Thats not Hosana to blame, they are entering his space..
Leopards are more "aggressive" towards humans in general then lions, lion just runs away when he see's humans on foot, leopards are more fierce in that regard.
Even in private enclosures, where people work with lions and leopards personally, leopard is far more dangerous animal to work with then lions, they are more "unpredictable".
