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.

It wouldn’t be a DM post without the “limp” comment.
I wonder if people are aware of how many lions in Kruger, with far greater issues, are living extremely productive lives as dominant males? It’s hugely disrespectful to think a massive apex predator like DM couldn’t absolutely pulverize that young male. So could the Imbali Male. This young lion is desperate and taking chances because he has no other options… and lions can actually be quiet tolerant of others when it comes to food. Nsuku let HB feed on his carcass a while ago… rival prides like Nharus and Mbiris have feed together. Blondie let the Mhangeni male eat alongside him. It’s a misconception that lions at all times just want to kill each other. They can tolerate each other under certain circumstances as long as each lion knows their place in the hierarchy.
