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.

Another good example was the Southern Pride, when the Kruger males took over the lionesses fought hard to keep all cubs alive. They had a huge number advantage (10+ lionesses vs 2 males), so the Kruger males eventually gave up and raised the cubs as their own, although they were sired by Toulon males.
