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.

@Alex Morala  This latest discussion here concerning age of one lion went to ridiculous level and such isn´t tolerated here. You are now on watchlist because you disrespected other members without no reason. If some lion is 14 or 15 years old is far from important thing. 

Even in one posting of yours game ranger wasn´t sure saying "around 15 years old". It can mean anything from 14-16 years old. So if even all the rangers aren´t sure, then you can´t blame people here if they aren´t sure. If you want to continue here in wildfact, you need to change your attitude.

Birmingham, Othawa, Avoca… Male lions whose territories encompass sections of Londolozi. Birmingham south-east and central, Avoca in the north and Othawa to the west. Whichever individual or coalition it may be, there can surely be no more iconic African photo than a male lion on high ground, staring out over the plains…

If you don´t understand the difference between debate and mocking others, then there is a problem naturally. Debating is allowed, but disrespecting other members for no reason whatsoever isn´t. There are plenty of forums for people who think, that debating is same as starting to make attacks towards other people in personal level with no reason. 

For instance what comes to age of some lion, all information is welcome. But if someone isn´t able to behave as an adult person, then this is wrong forum for him/her. There are plenty of other forums for people who like things handled differently. We here believe in it, that people like it more when no-one isn´t allowed to start mocking others just because there is disagreement or maybe human error or something is controversial.

One thing more if someone is confused. What comes to  @Alex Morala and why I wrote that putting to watchlist. People looking at this thread now can´t see it anymore, but I deleted two of hist last postings, because those were more some personal issues with other posters and not about lions. Of course other moderators could see those for some time, because moderators have some discussions when it´s noticed that in some thread discussion heats up in way, which isn´t wanted.

My advice is, that if someone has some favorite species or individual(s) inside of that species and then seeing something looking wrong and maybe getting a bit angry, correct possible error by all means. But before writing count to 10 or 100 if it takes it to calm down so, that focus is in good information, when posting.
