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.

I assume she is still doing that?

She behaves "strange"  for couple of months now, distancing herself from the pride members and being on her own, which is behavior of old lions who will soon pass away, she is around 15 yrs old and absolute legend of Talamatis ( i mean she is Talamatis) and Sabi Sands.

Yeah. He kind of has a mohawk going on there. He has such a pretty mane. I hate to see him losing some of it.

It appears he was shown the door. Most likely he was just attracted by the prospect of a meal but did not realize the girls were there.
