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.
Gingerella is absolutely a Ximungwe now, for sure. She was taken in by the older lioness, they became a team, and she even attacked her own mother with her new pridemate, an attack that eventually lead to Sassy's death. So, there is no question, she is a full blown member of the Ximungwe Pride. My, personal, thinking is just that if, Heaven forbid, something were to happen to the older lioness, she is the last of the Ximungwe blood, so a new name might be justified. As I mentioned, there is no right or wrong answer, it was just an interesting aside to think about when these two paired up, let's just hope we don't have to figure it out.
