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.

The prehistoric population of Panthera leo was not extensively studied like those lion-like felines from Eurasia and America.
The migration out of Africa into multiple waves from different periods is quite possible, just like the contemporary species Homo sapiens.
Maybe the Ceylon lions were already extinct by the time when the new wave of lion used to re-colonize South Asia and to eventually become the modern Asiatic lions, or maybe they just interbred with each other to create a brand new population which was the Asiatic lions that we recognize today.
