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.

Wow, Beautiful Males. I agree brotherhood among Lions are most impressive among all big cats. Maji's are one great example. Notches are also living together and bond between them are very strong.
What more impressive about them is that their father The real Notch King made the coalition with them and rule the several areas for very long time and his sons still following the mantra taught by their father, The Unity is great strength and like any other good sons they are still following it and this is main reason of their success.

This was, I think, the first brother of Notch, he was called Light Mane

To be fair, I don't remember how they were dethroned, but I think that it was light mane who was killed. Notch was beat up and fled along whith his sons who were of age to be expelled from the pride.
It's so amazing that a grown male has the ability to conquer a new territory, and I think part of this sucess for Notch is the help from his sons;again the power of brotherhood, even with your own father.

Some brothers will risk their life to defend their brother.

Two lions attacked by crocodile!



"We were at Wilderness Safaris' King's Pool camp in Botswana, with our amazing guide ND tracking two young male lions we had seen in the area the day before. We found them by the Linyanti river between Botswana and Namibia, and watched them drinking water. Then the younger one stepped into the water and they both cautiously looked around, before turning back. We thought they would come back out of the water, but then we saw the younger one going back in. Our guide saw a crocodile on the right and we saw the older one look at the croc. Again we thought they would turn back, but the younger one kept going in deeper. The older one hesitated and then followed him in. As they swim across the crocodile speeds up and while we all watched with our hearts in our mouths, the younger lion was attacked by the crocodile. The older one  then attacks the crocodile and effectively saves his younger brother before going under the water. The younger one started swimming back and we thought the older one was gone, but then we saw him pull himself into the reeds-incredibly they both survived with no injuries!  The older brother was stuck on the Namibian side of the river for the rest of the day, while the younger one waited for a while, before finding a young lioness and mating with her. When the older brother came back later in the day, instead of challenging his younger brother for the lioness as would be expected, he waited nearby. An amazing wilderness experience we were privileged to observe and an incredible older brother"!
