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.

No, average lifespan of male lions in Kruger is 9-10 yrs (obiviously not all die from old age tho).
Healthy males can reach to 14-15 yrs of age, but its rare.
How old were the Shishengenis when they got killed by the Gomos? They were pretty old, and still dominant. Had it not been for that encounter, which was building for some time, they could have had a lot longer I think. But, I know they were definitely older lions, they were around for a long time.
