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.

Probably those are Ginger's sons.
No way.....A lion as bosslike as his majesty HB HAS to have a surviving son that can then go on to be the most successful coalition of all time. It's the least HB deserves. Ginger was a legend in his own right too. Such a shame that he's gone, but I guess it's the circle of life. What happened to the Othawa male? did he get slaughtered by rival males?

Hairy Belly has a son, Torchwood male, he is in a coalition with 2 Fourways males, they are dominant in Kruger around Leeupan area :

Also DeLaporte Talamati is also most likely Hairy Belly's son.

Yea, OM was killed.
Good to hear he has a son and going strong. Why do they always scatter off to Kruger? I wish they would stay in the vicinity of where they are sired and then go on to tear up the same lions who may have gave their dads a hard time.
Sure. I've just read londo blog on his death, the silly bugger. What was he thinking going in to Birmingham territory like that....must be those majingilane genes....
Hairy Belly Matimba! You are unique, in every appearance and every update, even on your death. You gave us one last goodbye in February! Then you went to sleep forever, you left an unforgettable sightings & history! Rest in peace legend! You are still alive in the hearts of those who love you!

Yeah. I never been much of a fan of this whole bloodlines stuff.
Othawa male was just a inexperienced kid that ran into bad luck and very experienced lions. His genes had nothing to do with it.
It would have happened to any male if they were in the same situation. Whether they were Scarnose or Kinky Tail or not.

Well said, my friend! I imagine he laid his magnificent head down and closed his eyes for the last time. Truly a remarkable lion.
Sadly, seeing he was dependent on getting kills from others, all sightings stopped abruptly and we never got to see him decline much. Does kinda suggest he may have went down in a fight.
Though ultimately, that would probably been preferred over slowly wasting away.
In the end, he just disapeared and we will never know his fate.

We did see him decline. He was starving. He also had big wound on his face which wasn't healing at all.
