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.

But in the video he is by far the most furious, chasing the majingilane. T looked really less angry !
But to rush them was really a bad idea, we know the outcome. Dark Mane was a master, he saw the opportunity and took it.
I remeber another video : the pair meet tourists, T was very shy and cautious but KT just did not care at all. This lion was maybe really totally fearless ...
Years later, it was T who decided to stand his ground against Selati males while Mak and PB prefered to vanish, maybe the explanation is about who is in charge. Maybe because the boss is the one who is full of confidence or maybe who has the most to lose.
KT was not described as the dominant male. T was always the dominant male and every ranger who say them said that. T won over kinky more. There are many reports when T was the one seen charging at lions, with Kinky only following later after.
At the beginning of that chase, both were chasing the manginjis away. T probably stopped because he saw they were running away and most of the time, that is enough. But yes, both kinky and T were fearless and their record number shows that.
Did you know, after kinky's death, TG faced the 4 manginjis by himself again. All alone in a 1 vs 4 like kinky.
