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.

Sad end for 2 s129 males , they where fan favorites, or atleast my, but around the age of 10,with mostly being nomadic and battle scared, without benefits of being pride males (easy food) life is hard, but they managed to survive to the old age, they didnt fall victim to any males when they roam vast areas of Kruger..Certaintly will have their place in the history of Kruger lions.
Some of their history of which we know about, they where originally 5 young males in S129 in 2016, later in 2017/18, 4 where seen around Mazithi Dam and apperantly controled a pride, in 2019 only this 2 left and they become nomadic, they hanged around H4-1 road mostly, and 1 male had a serious fight with 2 Mazithi males at Lower Sabie (famous video) he survived and they moved around Mantimahle territory around Nkuhlu, fortunet for them Mantimahles moved further south.. It was looking great for 2 males, seen with females often, but with new coalition raising (Kinky Tail/s36 male and Mazithi/Tshokwanes) in the area it looks like they lost that area towards the end of 2020, recently seen all over the place and not in best condition..old nomadic lions dont survive long unfortunately..
