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.

I say this because I was browsing through FB recently and saw a post of the scar-nosed Majingilane with a generic title like "legendary king", "immortal king", or whatever.
Then, interestingly, there were some people asking stuff like if he was still alive or who he was. Then there was a discussion about someone demanding OP to make the post with info and context for new fans to understand who the lion was and his status, and OP claiming he didn't need to say anything because Scar Nose Majingilane is too legendary and doesn't need any introduction.
So we have a lion who was alive 5 years ago, ruled for 8 years as a member of one of the most famous and sucessful coalitions ever, having one of the most well recognized faces out there, but still some new fans/lion followers had no idea who he was.
So imagine 10, 20 years later, will less famous lions still be remembered? I'm sure information will still be out there online, but they'll probably barely if at all be mentioned anymore and no one will care about them.
Few will get "immortalized" to a point people will still discuss and remember them.
Exactly you said “new” shoot I didn’t that hairy belly had brothers until after I did research a few years ago when I started to follow sabi sands nobody is gonna remember every lion that just being human but if you do a little research all of these coalitions bloodline and story’s are all over sabi sands Kruger manyleti and timbavati… nun of them will be forgotten but some will be more memorable than others is what should’ve been said not they I forget who said it but I took it as huge disrespect
