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.
Think Deon has said the male with the swollen face is K4. If it is him, hope they haven’t inflicted any further damage to his leg, would be a real setback to his recovery.
I wouldn’t describe comments from rangers as speculation, obviously they aren’t perfect and do mis ID lions but all those guys are actually there ‘boots on the ground’ so to speak they have good knowledge of the lions and are usually accurate with their information. Seems like on this occasion Deon got his initial ID wrong but mistakes happen.
