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.

We didn't see a gradual decline like Blondie avoca or Lambille, S8 was completely healthy until a week ago. The drooling, him looking disoriented and unable to move much, that's not TB. Guides just love to say it's TB whenever lions have health issues, every sick lion isn't a case of TB.
I figured, that TB is a suitable cover up. If it something they don't want to publish for any reason they can always say it's TB and stick to it. So if it is say from meat poisoning we might never know.
Still seems odd how if it is something that can be spread beyond lions, they don't act. With Orpen Male (anthrax) they closed off the area.
Whether it was TB or not does not even matter, S8 died anyways and in an unexpected way and quick, about 3 days.
