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.

The lioness said I should write about him so Here we go.
Aslan is an animal that I'm so lucky to work with. He is now 10 years. He is a massive boy, and his father was found alone out in the bush area in Kenya his mother was probably shoot by trophy hunters. His father came to a danish lion park, and he became the dominant male, he the soon started mating with many lionesses, and had many cubs and one of those where Aslan and his step brother Aragon. When they where two years they both came to Kristiansand animal park along with two females.
They soon became fathers themself and got in total 6 cubs. Aslan as the dominante male was probably the father of all cubs, esspecially the big females cubs reminded us quickly about their fathers personanlity. The cubs of the big lioness is now huge aswell and are all females. They was so aggressive that the small female and her cubs was being pushed out of the group and when Aslan and his brother also turned on the female she had big problems. They beat her up so badly that they sadly had to put her down.
Luckily the cubs where old enought to survive without their mom.
Aslan is very famous in Norway and do have big crowds at his feedings all year round! He also has his own bread in Norway.
