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.
The Nw's are finally starting to look more assertive in their demeanor. Also, the wide-nosed looks the most impressive to me and would be a power-house if in good shape.

Hopefully he will heal up. Then they will be great as the 2 healthy ones look in great condition. Hoping that the Styx and Nkuhuma Young Males will go nomadic soon and the Styx Pride will start mating with the N'waswitshaka Males.

Yeah, rangers said that when in good condition, Wide Nosed male is the most impressive of the 4.

The Old N'Waswitshakas are great looking individuals, wow. Funny, that wide nose reminds me a lot of Mahkulu, that one characteristic was the first one that stood out for me, and to this day is the first thing I look for when looking at images of the Mapogos, if I am trying to identify them.
What I adore about lions is their distinctive face and expressions! Not all of them look like carbon copies of each other. Such unique features and coloring sometimes!
Wide nosed male from the N'was has a very wise and relaxed look about him.... The way the muzzle is shaped, he's quite unique looking.
Yea, some of the old N'was were quite interesting looking lions!
