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.

She had just lost her cubs around the end of March. Doubt she was pregnant again.
Yeah, I am thinking the same thing. When Khanya first started interacting with them, and was laying with the pride, it was believed that the cubs were still alive then. That wasn't very long ago, so I am guessing those suckle marks are from those lost cubs. The whole thing is just so heartbreaking, to go from so much hope, to losing any (for particular lions), in such a short span of time.
