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.
I still think its a bit far fetched. Even woth a perfectly sharp knife. I doubt you would get chirurgical precision by just hacking at a unsedated lion from a motercycle.
And why just the tail?. It would be far easier and rewarding to just kill the lion and loot as much of the corpse as possible.
Its also the first time I hear of it. While more traditional ways of poaching are normally reported.
