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.
Well I must say that I have only been here a few months but I really appriciate to be around a crowd who actually understands nature and how wild animals operate.
It seems like every other medium(especially youtube) I go to for the subject of Lions coalitions, namely about the Mapogo and Majingilane, you will find crowds who anthropomorphise these amazing animals and come up with disgusting, disrespectful statements that show their lack of intelligence and class. Where do they come from and how come they've been clinging on to the once hidden gem of National Park blogs?
How one could favor one coalition over the other as if they're rooting for their favorite sports team is something I can't understand. It's embarrassing. With every passing of the Majingilane legends there are actually low lives who root for this and are glad, as if it's wait they've been waiting for for years because of what happened to the Mapogos. The Birmingham boys have recently killed my dear declining Scar Nose, does this make me resentful against them? No, they do what nature has intended them to do and I will be following these boys now and in the future.
Both coalitions(Mapogo/Majingilane) IMO are the most amazing Lions we have witnessed so far as they've shown such diverse and unique behaviors. They were both so different from one another and changed the way even experts perceive male lions. I just wish that they're not taken for granted and that their stories don't fall into the wrong hands, so to speak.
