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.

Lions skin grows over age and the extra loose skin hangs over their bellies...
The first part is common knowledge that i already know (that's literally what i said in the last post).
But the relation of belly-fold with age is something i didn't hear before...& i don't think is true for Asiatic lions. Plenty of skinny young lions with flappy ones & bulky old lions with almost none. It's seems more about body shape.
