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.

New genetic study of lions may help to prevent them going extinct.

" A large international team of researchers has conducted an extensive genetic analysis of lions, and in so doing, has learned about their evolutionary history. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group describes how they confirmed long-term divisions between extant lion populations and showed genetic diversity among modern samples.


Prior research has shown that historically, lions have lived in many parts of the word, even in America. Most such species went extinct, however, including the cave lions that once roamed what is now Eurasia approximately 15,000 years ago. Today, lions live in parts of Africa and India and are endangered—just 20,000 African lions remain in the wild today, and their numbers are dwindling. In this new effort, the researchers carried out an extensive examination of the lion genome as part of an effort to save them from extinction.
The work involved analyzing the genomes of 20 specimens, including the cave lion and 12 historic lines that were known to live sometime between the 15th and 20th centuries—and six specimens from modern African and Asiatic lions.
One of the major findings was that modern lions and several extinct lions shared a common ancestor. They also found that approximately 70,000 years ago, two unique lineages of modern lion lineages emerged—and that cave lions lived in cold climates.
The researchers note that prior studies of the lion genome involved analysis of mitochondrial DNA—in this study, they went much further by looking at the whole genome—some of which was derived from 30,00-year-old lion fossils. They learned that modern lines split off from two different lineages in Africa—one in northern parts of Africa, the other in the south.
The researchers also found that the Asiatic lions living in the Gir forest in India have low genetic diversity due to their small population. And they found that the Asiatic lions evolved from the northern range lions in Africa, though they still had remnants of southern lions in their genome. They did not find any evidence of African lions being introduced into India in modern times. The researchers suggest their findings will help with lion conservation efforts in both India and Africa. "

Slight error, it's 30,000-year-old lion fossils, and here is the link to the actual paper: https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/...1919423117

Yes absolutely ! You're right... They forgot to mark a "zero" after having written "30," thus not intentional error I think.

There's something else that I noticed. Wait and watch, I am quoting you in this thread about what it is.

4 meters and 20cm Black Caiman kills 11 years old girl.

https://www.gentedeopiniao.com.br/polici...jara-mirim

This Sunday, 7, children were bathing in the Primeiro Igarapé, in the Triângulo neighborhood, in Guajará-Mirim, when around noon one of the children who lived in the neighborhood, was attacked by a black caiman. Warned by bathers throughout the afternoon and part of the night teams of police and firemen were imbued in rescuing the body of the victim.

Men from the Environmental Police, Military Police, Fire Department, SEDAM, IDARON, Regional Secretariat in Guajará-Mirim, Municipal Secretariat of the Environment and 6th Jungle Infantry Battalion were with their teams in capturing the animal along with the collaboration of the community.

The state server stationed at IDARON, Júlio Antonio da Costa popularly known as "Pirate" spotted the animal with its prey in its mouth in the Second Igarapé of the Triângulo neighborhood, about 70 meters from the incident. The black caiman was shot with eight 12-gauge rifle around 8:00 p.m. The black caiman of 4 meters long was with Gigliane do Nascimento Bira of 11 years old who was sent to the Necrotery of the Regional Hospital for necropsy and the animal was taken to the Environmental Police Command in Guajará-Mirim.

Tests confirm that the remains found in Black Caiman bellies are from adult human's.

''The remains found in the belly of a Black Caiman are of human's, he pointed out expert examinations made by the Scientific Police. The information is from the Tocantins Department of Public Security. The animal was killed in the municipality of Lagoa da Confusão on the 30th of last month after a man disappeared in the Javaé River - Brazil. The Civil Police said they are following the investigations to clarify the case.

The SSP has yet to report who the human parts found inside the Black Caiman is according to residents of the region the remains are of 47 years old Adilson Bernardes de Oliveira. He disappeared in July 28th while camping with friends by the river.''

"The owner of the place said he went to sleep around 10 p.m. [on July 27th] and when he woke up he didn't see Adilson. He looked for him and found his slippers and a lighter by the river," said Firefighter Sergeant Ronaldo Barbosa who helped with the search.

The military was called in and searched by land on the bank and along the river for two days. On the site the military saw more than seven Black Caimans, four of them adults with over 4 meters long.

Without success in the search, the firemen reported that the residents decided to capture one of the Black Caimans and killed the animal. Inside it bags and remains were found.

"The villagers believe that the animals devoured man. The Black Caiman had a full disproportionate belly. Inside the caiman were found bags and Adilson always carried bags in his pants."

Raining deers. Apparently came from SGNP being chased by a leopard.

Daniel Rosengren: " This impala was one of two impalas that had gotten stuck in the mud. I could tell that they had not been stuck for long as they still had a lot of energy. I had a short thought about letting nature have its way and I probably shouldn't have interfered. But I couldn't help myself. I grabbed this one by the horns and pulled it out. But once out it panicked and ran straight into the muddy river again, ten meters downstream and got itself into the mud even further out than it was before. The other impala was an adult male. It was heavier to pull out and once out, I must confess I was a bit reluctant to let go of the long pointy horns not to get injured myself. He was very strong and fighting. I managed to, in one motion, push him away from me and at the same time letting go. Luckily he ran away.

Now back to the first one, by now it was too far out for me to reach it from solid ground. Luckily a couple of friends arrived and they took out a tow rope from their car and we started lassoing with it. We were really bad at lassoing. But, after many tries, we finally got the loop around the horns and could pull it to safety on land. By this time it was too exhausted to run away so we put it in the shade of a bush to rest. I came by later and it pleased me that it had left. Happy ending for the impalas.
Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. "

Because, why not?



Atleast my concerns of her being injured of getting hit by vehicles, was unfounded.

Dereck Joubert: " ‘Soul of the Elephant’ took us on a truly extraordinary journey … and it seemed apt to share a snippet from the film on a day dedicated to raising awareness about the plight of the many species at risk of being lost forever. Elephants are among the most iconic, remarkable, intelligent creatures on Earth … and contemplating their possible extinction in the wild due to our human actions is deeply unsettling. This worldwide crisis has made us acutely aware of our interconnectedness, and there is hope that we will begin to understand one vital lesson: with every extinction, this planet becomes less habitable for any number of dependant species — including ours.

Continuing the black caiman section.


Idiot plays with young black caiman.









Guy shows us huge black caiman tracks and trails and he eventually receives an aggressive ''Don't come any closer'' warning by the Reptile.
