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.

This has to be one of the most misinforming videos I’ve ever come across, pretty much every topic he covered was either completely false or fabricated. TornNose is made out to be some second-in-command, when in reality there’s never a huge gap in dominance between duos compared to bigger coalitions, the narrator completely leaves out the 3 other brothers of Sekekama and TornNose aswell. Claims Matsumi sister’s sired cubs are illegitimate despite her being a pride female which further leads up to his weird obsession between Sekekama and Matsumi. Could go on and on but it doesn’t help how little info there is about Sekekama yet ppl making videos of bs, there’s Sekekama based videos on the ‘Mapogo - Lions of Sabi Sands’ channel and that info is genuinely reliable.
I concur 100% with you. It is the National Geography documentary Savage Kingdom that has made Sekekema a legend and resulted in these concoctions. For the first time, I found a national documentary not doing justice and falling well below the expected levels, especially for those who understand lion behavior. Many YouTube videos describe Sekekama as the most legendary lion that ever lived with little to no information to back it up - no information about his natal pride or what happened to three older brothers in collation. The general narrative presented is that Sekekama and TornNose were born in 2007 while the other three brothers in 2005 to 2007 and got their first pride sometime in 2013, and marsh pride in 2014 and are still alive. I highly doubt this information and other such narratives.
