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 had some, but I do not think he ever searched for it. He could fight of course as any male lion, but he was striking me as a "I will try to ouintimidate you, I do not want to get my paws dirty" type, not a "I do not care, lets rumble" type. In that encounter with a Zig Zak I would bet a lot that it was Mbiri male who got into action and the BD was left with no other choice than to fight back.
I get that impression looking at his encounter with Monwana males, his encounters with Mapoza male and that he just let it go when Giraffe male moved to take over Black Dam pride.
