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.

This is very heartbreaking news to read about today for me. I'm so very upset. I was rooting for this lion. Loved his tenacity and persistence till the very end. He hung on for about a year after the attack by 3 lions! He never gave up until the very last moment.
Hard to see these photos.... and the last one struck me...He's very wasted now by that point, yet the look on his face is one of acceptance, not a haunted/scared look at all. Just as he didn't give up on life so easily, so he realizes that he no longer can battle on. The fight to keep up with his coalition mates is over.
Fourways????
U mean dark Mane jr. And Blondie fourways??
Sons of Majinglanis.
I’m not sure I was just told the old fourways males I believe this girl is around 8 years old I think we don’t have a thread for the southern pride so I’m not 100% sure

She is born around late 2015/early 2016, so only around 7.

Thank you.
By any chance that matshpiri males or Charleston males fathered her as they were the dominant coalition at this area during 2015-16.

Ohhhhhh..
And how come this pride reduce to just one female?
I mean I have learnt about Charleston, sparta, sand river and PC pride were divided between matshpiri, Charleston and mantimahle coalition and a continuous war broke out between them in 2017-18. Each coalition was killing other cubs. Due to which Charleston and Sparta pride got extinct and the other two were rescued by southern avocas in later years.
Was the same story with Southern pride???

SP didn't manage to raise offspring to adulthood for years because of constant change of territorial coalitions and unstable times in between 2010 - 2020.
So old females died and there was no new young females to replace them, from superpride they shrinked only to 1 female in 2020.
