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.

He ran away from avoca males
"Needless to say heart rates spiked, but none more so than that of the Matshipiri male, whose head suddenly snapped round as he heard the other males footfalls, and then took off, running for his life. Seeing him flee, the two other males, by now identified as the Avoca young males, immediately gave chase."

"there's no such thing as "true legends" and non-true legends. Male lions are all incredible in their own right.They leave their prides at the age of 3 or 4, and the 2 years that follow on from there will see most of them killed by other male lions. Once they make it through those 2 or 3 years, they can start looking for territory. Long story short - all of these male lions, known or not known, are fighters & conquerers. They all have their own story & they all deserve equal praise"

He ran from the Avoca after putting up a fight! That is why he had those injuries on his face. We have all seen lions that immediately run away when they see they are outnumbered but at least he STOOD GROUND AND FOUGHT.
I know he lost but it is the effort that counts. I didn't say the manginjis were not amazing, they still have a huge presence in the sabi but we ALL have to agree on something - they are in no shape to fight anyone, especially in a one on one fight against lions in their prime.
I know he lost to the manginjis but judging by the looks of DM, he put up a GREAT fight. That is all I said. I didn't disrespect any lion or any user.
