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 stillstill remember when tinyo was alive in September last yr. , they use to write that older gowrie ( tinyo) is 10 yrs 10 months old and younger gowrie ( nhenha) is 9yrs 10 mnths old.
In cases in which Mala Mala does not know age of the lions on their property, they just put their own estimations and such is the case with Birminghams. Estimations Mala Mala made on Birminghams were definitelly incorrect through.

Some people (I do not get why) likes to makes some legends around ages of male lions. Same it was with HB Matimba when when people were making some claims he is 15, 16 or 17 years old.

Only Nsuvu was a bit older, July 2010.
The exact dates of Birminghams birth are unknown and can only be estimated. I believe it is reasonable to think Nhenha was around 4 to 4 and half years old when Birminghams took over from Matimbas judging by his look by then so he should be around 11 years old now.
