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.

One of the most incredible and powerful things I have I ever witnessed in my whole life!!
A Matimba male mating with one of the Othawa lionesses. Exciting times in the Sands! So very blessed to see these things in person and to witness nature at its best.
It's good to see them bounce back, hope they can stay for some time.
Ginger roar is a little rusty but it will clear out overtime now that there in the process of takeover.
Even if you ignore their past behavior, they are old lions if they mate now it will take two and a half years to three years for the hypothetical cubs to reach maturity, by then they would be what 14 almost 15 years, how likely would that be for two old male lions to defend a territory and a pride against bigger and younger lion coalitions, they are both magnificent lions but them taking control over a pride this late in life won't be very fruitful.
