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.

Most these lions are related one way or another anyway. It’s just the discussion recently with the breakaway Male pics compared with Blondie and people trying to determine who was dominant in the area. Wanted to hear some different opinions

I have to admit an error here. Zlatko Jurek said it was Scar, and I faithfully copied it, but looking at the map it's a long way from Orpen. And it doesn't really look like Scar. Lot of big males seen around Mopani though.

How can this guy be the old Masorini Male when he’s south in Shingwedzi he would never come close to Masorini or Mopani he’s more Shingwedzi. He has the look the Kanniedood males have, probably related, same area

What i noticed is, that in Kruger Summer period (~Nov to April) when tempetures are high, with a lot of rain and very hot days, with very dense vegetation and greens, a lot of males are losing a bit of their manes.. 

Now why is that, well prob a bit of everything, hot days so body prob naturaly lose hair to cool themselves, also theres a lot more concentration of insects, parasites, and bugs then in winter times and obiviously more mange or bacteria.. 

If you compare the males mane during winter and now during summer, in majority of males you will see the difference, althrough some males might not get affacted.

@Tr1x24 something definitely wrong with him, maybe that contributes but this guy was a beast. Also he barely moves, all mating is always done by Mohawk. Hopefully he recovers back, he was one of the most impressive

Northern Kruger - November 2015
Here we have the other male of the coalition,taken very late in the day,and also through reasonably dense mopani scrub.Oddly enough this is the first time I have seen them (I have lived here for just over 2 years now) although their territory starts a mere 2 kilometers from where my house is located in Phalaborwa..This is because they rule a huge area which reaches far south of the H9,our main access route into the park and there are no access roads into this region....hence they are not seen frequently,but they have a fearsome reputation.
