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.

Those 3 original females are sisters of the Birmingham males right?

As he entered prime years, Mandevu turned into such a stunning specimen, beautiful.

Hope he didnt fight Ncile tho.

Then he would have wounds on his front, not on the back leg.

A lot can happen in a pride/group scuffle, when chaos erupts, often lions bite each others for no reason.

Even in a fight for mating rights, you often see females bite 2 fighting males.

I referred to comment particularly saying  wounds were probably caused by fighting for mating rights.

In that scenario Mandevu would have wounds on the face and maybe a bit on his back or leg while there Mandevu has wounds only on his lower parts of the body.

I always want to support Ncile.
Although Lambile's figure is getting better,
Maybe Lambile will be third again if Nclie recovers completely and rules Pride again.
The Thandaimpi descendants are always sorry for their few healthy sons.
Is Redroad currently well protected and healthy? Who is the threatening rival?

Last photo I saw of Red Road was a couple days ago. He was wet after being run off from buffalo, looked good.

Red road male's dominant life is really impressive.
I think it's really hard for a male to live alone than two male lion duo.
I hope that his dominating rule will last a long.

If the duo members of the progeny were mixed differently, I would probably have written a different history now haha.

Like humans, there's no such thing as if.
It's sad, but because of that, it's more valuable and beautiful.

@Timbavati@Mwk85 @DeerMe thank you
