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.

Under the picture is date.. @2015..so thats Hairy Belly Matimba.. Their oldest sons would be only 3/4 yrs in 2015..
Based on a date, you conclude he's HB himself? Regardless, HB looked a bit different around 2015, you can see the eye color is still darker and he's looking older than this lion.

That's true. I went over and realized it.
No problem :)
I was going to post them side by side or the 2nd photo in the Matimba son's thread, with HB's photo in the Matimba Coalition thread. Instead I posted HB's in the wrong thread, LOL! Wtf? (Shaking my head

Not sure what's going on in that area but I think Nsemani's have shifted south and it seems the Leeubron's have also moved a bit south. The Nsemani's controlled a pride for some time and may have just abandoned them in search of new prides.
