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.
From where you guys got info that they where separated?
As for separation, relocating 2 males in a certain area is very dangerous for local lion population.
2 males can easily oust 1 local territorial male, with more effort and luck even coalition of 2 or 3...kill all the cubs and few females in process.
While lone male cant do nearly as much damage.
In a sense its not fair to the brothers, but it would not be fair aswell to the territorial male which those 2 could oust/kill if they relocate him to his area or near by.
This situation is hard and imposible to fix, as these lions have to be moved, but with that you are playing with nature.
Shipping them far north where lion population is low is not an answer as we saw with Snip Mpondo and HP male.
