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.
Yes, I've seen photos of HB with both lionesses when one was pregnant or had just given birth. Anyway, no matter which lion is the father, she is alone raising her cub, unfortunately. We now know that at least one of the Avocas doesn't recognize the cub as his and spent 30 minutes trying to kill the poor thing. Let's hope that if it is HB's, that he inherited some of his father's survival skills, cause he's going to need EVERY bit of it and then some.
I don't envy any single lion moms without any male protection whatsoever. At least the Sparta and Tsalala Pride females have that somewhat.....
