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.

That where Mantimahles in their primes, such a force, unbeatable I would say.
The Mantimahle males were incredibly powerful and successful males. Their daughters form the core of the prides they once controlled (that we know of) and their sons (that we know of) have prides of their own. That one picture of the Mantimahle males crossing a watercourse in MalaMala is such an epic shot that captures just how huge they were.
Also on a side note, there was a very interesting blog I once came across talking about the Mantimahle males' legacy. The blog suggested that the males had aged faster than your average dominant male lion due to the strain of maintaining control of their vast territory and the prides in it. I can't seem to find that blog anywhere nowadays though.
