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.
Thanks all, I agree it’s probably more appropriate for the guides/reserves to come up with names, I wasn’t trying to suggest they should be official or anything just get the impression for people new to following lions it can get confusing as we end up with some names being used multiple times. Also it’s quite random for example Mapogos, Majingilanes, Matimbas, Birminghams, Northern Avocas now Ndhzengas were all given names but then Selatis, Matshipiris, Southern Avocas and currently Gijimas don’t have them. Plains Camp Males one has a name the other one doesn’t. Just think we would benefit from a bit more consistency but ultimately whether they are named or not means nothing to the lions themselves. Would be interested to hear some other perspectives on the subject of naming lions and whether we think it’s necessary or not.
