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.
"Thanks for posting this.. and you’re right, lone lioness are always in danger. I just meant with the Tsalala situation, it’s slightly different since her sub adults older and can get away faster. I think the Koppies always have to stand their ground and fight because their cubs can’t run away. "
They can not fight back pride of 6 females.
"I’m shocked that the Orpen males not only didn’t protect the Koppies, but fed on her? This is a pride they associate with.... they should have recognized her in some way? I’m not saying lions should grieve like humans do but the whole behavior of Junior of having cubs and abandoning them to the point where he doesn’t even associate with his former pride, and treats them like an enemy, is sad."
Perhaps Orpens haven't been on the spot when fight took place and just fed on Koppies female after she was already dead. It would be indeed very strange behavior if Orpens participate in killing Koppies female
