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'm not sure that the sheer scale of what those two lions did, and how much actual area the two of them controlled, isn't lost on some people. Meanwhile, the other 4 Mapogos had control of the Selati area, and benefitted from the fact that any challenges to them was going to, most likely, have to get through the Mlowathis first. I believe, at times, people's unreasonable hatred of Mr. T causes them to discount his and Kinky Tail's actual accomplishments (I will never refer to him as Satan, Satan is pure evil, Mr. T, to borrow a line from a lady researcher in Brothers in Blood, was simply trying to be the best lion he could be, in a world where there is no right and wrong, but just surviving).
The Mapogo males showed how are the dominant lions that took it to the extreme on his behavior... To be honest. I doubt that we never can witness again an dominance like them in the Sabi Sands.
The Mlowathi males were the ones who defend the western Mapogo land for over 2 years since they split-up in the group.
despite that they were the youngest. Them were the most intimidating of all.
