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.

This is truly bad news for all involved. Floppy has gone warp speed to Male Lionhood. It's fascinating to see the degrees of Lion maturation.
Floppy is like barely 4 and he's mating and chasing and trying to carve out territory all by himself, and then you have the Kambula's at like 6 still meandering around without a care in the world.
Yeah Floppy Ear was born when the 4 Ndzhengas were still around, and Uboso was the one who died from the Gijima fight injuries, he could very well be Uboso but man does he remind me of Gore with his blondish mane
Anyhow at 3/4 years old he is almost the same size as Ahmale wich is very cool to see, I doubt he will be much bigger than that but I tought he´d be smaller wich seems to not be the case
It´s amazing that K12 went from having 6/4 males without any confidence to an overconfident 4 year old lol
He´ll need to find a partner or have the luck of a lifetime to be dominant where he is right now
That video migt be the best I´ve seen this year from lion dynamics in Kruger
At this video you can see:
Floppy Ear being chased and challange his fathers and killing one of his half brother ( we dont see the killing in itself but its pretty much what happend)
You got K12 being chased by her mother/aunt and being protected by the father of the male that she has been with, and also the one of the males that made her be in this situation in the first place
You got Ahmale think twice before fully launch himself into his son ( I dont know if he recognize him but its probably because he didnt saw the need to take such risk alone)
After he FE got away we saw him roaring facing the same males who ran him off, just for his other father come and chase him again
The most impressive thing in this video is really how Floppy Ear was able to outrun both Ndzhengas, I imagine that It cant be easy due to the sheer weight of his balls that he showed here
