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.

This it's the healthiest Machaton male.
The other two are looking in a bit bad shape and bruised. One has TB and the injured hip and the other a blind-eye and lossed some mane.
Great sighting
I think I filmed the one with the hip injury, I will post a video soon. Stole a zebra kill from lionesses in the balule area.
Do you meet ever with veterinarian teams working with wild lions or field researchers studying lions there? I wonder if you get some weight information or maybe you already know some figures about some lions? There are so many handsome lions, but not too much information about shoulder heigths, body lengths and weights, which are somewhat interesting.
I can definitely do that. I will find out more specific details on the lions we encounter. I will be there in the end of January and February filming and I will get more specific information.
It would be nice. When animals are weighed people here always ask if stomach content was considered in some way when weighed. Lions can eat so much that it would be relevant to know at least if gorged or not. Naturally weight with empty stomach is most interesting always if possible to know.
