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.

With all due respect , but what would be great to watch? The Majingilanes will run like a herd of impala when they will sense the the BBoys. And deep down you know that very well .

Maybe they will, maybe they won't.

Still, it's a dance that has been happening since the dawn of time.

The old gang defend their kingdom while a new one rises to conquer and take more by force. 

It's the natural process, and I want to see if my boys are up to the challenge, at least initially. Of course that eventually they will get conquered, if not by the Birminghams, by another coalition, but that is just how it is.

I wasn't around then the Majingilane tookover, or when the Selatis did, so I would love to be able to read about it and, hopefully, to see videos of it.

this image shows how big mfumo is compare to his coalition mates. if he ever gets over his timid nature, he could really have his way. 

the other two bboys in this photo are #1 and #2.

One of the Birmingham males was on patrol yesterday evening in Torchwood. In between regular scent marking, he started roaring while on the move. Video by Andrew Khosa

We spent the morning with three of the Birmingham Male Lion coalition at first rock this morning. It has been rare to see three of them together lately since they have been moving between prides and on territorial patrol. It is a fantastic sight to see them resting out in the open.

You're welcome.

It's awesome to be able to follow them so closely, in a way. They have changed so much in the past year, like the transition between boys to men.
