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.
He looks great physically, it's incredible how he loses and regains body mass so quickly despite being a nomad with leg problems and very discreet. This guy is spectacular

Damn it, I hate seeing his hip bone has now worn through. This explains his inability to heal from that limp, as well as the roller coaster he has been on, with his conditioning. I hate this disease, and just hope that they are able to find a solution. I take their recent testing regiment as a sign that they are at least progressing.

Agreed, on all counts. He is one of my favorite lions, I hate seeing this, but such is the way, when you follow these wondrous creatures, unfortunately.

He looks he recently took a beating, poor guy.
While it's true that he's a resilient survivor for still soldiering on despite the odds, it's a real pity to see none of the Thanda Impi sons enjoying the same success their fathers had (Mandevu looks great, yes. But he's still a pride male in his own natal pride).
