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.

He is definitely the more dominant and his mane has filled out more and has become so dark. I've never seen a lion his age have such a dark mane. He has a lot of testosterone meaning he will be a very strong individual. Considering the growth of the Birmingham Boys from 2015 to 2017. This Boy has a lot more he can grow into.
It is so interesting, the speed at which relationship dynamics can change. The first time he and BYM interacted, the images looked to me as if TYM was the one taking a more submissive posture, and BYM a more aggressive and dominant one. In fact, I believe those initial reports stated that BYM had chased him off.
Now that they have had time to build a solid relationship, it is the exact opposite and is TYM who is the dominant one. Not sure if injuries could be playing a role, or if TYM is just more assertive and dominant, but it seemed to me during one of, if not their first, joint kills, a buffalo, it was TYM who had taken charge of the head, and was the one who finish the buffalo off.
