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.

I've always thought Nkuhuma was bigger than average, but not an overly large lion, he always appears lean and muscular to me. In this image, he looks like an absolute tank!
To me he's always been a tank when fully fed. He's up there with the pc boys. If pc boys are 10, then he's 9/9.5. Even when he's not eating he's a big guy.
The only thing im disappointed in him is his unwillingness to be a fighter. But who can blame him when all he wants to do is be a lover
I wish for his success (his chance to create and look over little Nkuhumas) possibly more than any other lions, certainly more than any other males his age. He has had it so tough, his entire life, always ends up alone, but he never stops the pursuit of a partner or a pride. He has yet to be able to settle down and raise cubs, where most adult males have had them by 6-7. Only other male who I can think of that was still alone at this age, having never had a long term partner or pride, would likely be Spear Boy, and I think he even had some longer term mates to hang out with a few times. Seems his and Big Boy's story was always meant to be a tragic tale from the start.
