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.

As rangers said, young male was playing with his sister and then Tyson attacked him.. Thats just dominant behavior of a male lion, young male needs to know his place, otherwise he would start challenging them and trying to mate with the females..
As ranger said, it was nothing serious, just a little scrap.. And as we see they where ok with each others later on..
Tyson attacks even his brother Fabio like that, when Fabio is near females that Tyson likes, so i wouldn't made much off that scrap..
People always saying that they will kill him, but i doubt it..what are they waiting for then?? Fabio is very tolerate of young male, and Tyson cant kill it alone anymore..
You and I have both seen the video of him trying to mount one of the lionesses. He got away with it then, but I believe had even Fabio seen that incident he would have attacked, that one incident could have been deadly for the young Birmingham if witnessed by both Ross males.
The young Birmingham is getting to the age where he might not be able to control those urges much longer, as he has already shown to have given into them on at least one occasion. While Fabio has been tolerant, I don't believe that tolerance would include his trying to mate with the pride.
Just like the incident with Sekekama, when he killed his own son, and the young Birmingham is not their son, such behavior could be deadly. They perhaps won't kill him, but he has already been given an injury that may affect him for the rest of his life and could make things more difficult for him out on his own, they could very well injure him even further, causing it to be near impossible for him to survive a nomadic life. Most males his age would have left after all of this, I am trying to understand why he hasn't.
I suppose that amounts to attempting to apply logic to a situation where none exists. But, isn't that quest for knowledge what draws us all to these wonderful pages to begin with? Cheers my friend!
