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.

Makes me wonder and think possibly Shaka and ZigZag might be immine to TB or possibly not have it at all as I would venture to guess a high percentage of other lions would have succumb to the illness after being beat down so many times, especially at an older age living with BovTB. If I remember correctly weren't they darted and checked for it in the past?
