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.

Sightings of All Three Tintswalos. Lambile must have a hyper drive on his metabolism,,,,he just cannot keep weight on. If he ever did get his bulk, he would be among the largest lions in the area.
Does Lambile have worms or something? What would keep him that skinny?

Not worms, something more serious, some disease, not sure what at this point, but his 2 Tumbela brothers, Scar and Limper also struggle/d with that, might be some genetics in this case, TB (most likely) or some other disease. Not be able to put weight is not good sign unfortunately..

We dont know about 2 Nharu brothers who disappeared in Kruger, but out of remaining 4 we know, only Skorro Jr. appears full healthy.
I’ve had this same theory / concern. As if there was some sort of genetic or nutritional indeficiency of those cubs. But I can’t quite nail that down because the females littermates DO NOT suffer this loss of condition. Unless it became exasperated by the stress of ‘nomadic’ life somehow. But then again, Lambile was never quite a nomad. It’s very mysterious to me. How so many of them suffer from maintaining condition.
Could be always something linked to Y chromozome pair like daltonism or hemophilia in humans.
