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.

There is a limit, this is not debated. No 200+kg non tree climbing predator can survive if it doesn't have room to move. This was never the debate, it only was "do lions live in the forests of the Congo" which they do, have done and hopefully will do more frequently. But look at the places they used to inhabit, all dense forest but with massive human presence and deforestation. The Congo also is extremely war torn and not easily studied.

You have your own version of what the debate was or was not. Lions do not live in the jungle; unless one includes a high-elevation plateau forest as being a jungle. Lions obviously have never been very successful at adapting to the Congo, else lion sightings in this location would not be so rare. Bottom line; lions are not jungle cats.
