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.

She reacted aggressively when two males advanced on her. This spurred the male in the middle to attack his brother in a show of dominance (you'll notice how the male on the left then falls on his back submissively). A gripping sighting, which had everyone on the edge of our seats."
Ignoring the caption, this lionesss seems like shes pregnant or suckling, what do you guys think?

If she's an older lioness who has had cubs, then that's just how they look after multiple litters. If she's young then maybe BUT she also won't be mating if she's pregnant. Is this a Styx lionesses? I guess we'll have to wait and see... it's honestly really hard to tell until like the week before when it becomes obvious.
