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.

But it's a long shot that this will happen and first they have to avoid PCM that are in the neighbor lodge right now.
Although it is extremely rare, Notch raised his cubs but the cubs were all males.
That was more of Notch being a very smart lion and joining their coalition, than actually raising them. Especially because, even after his partner Light Male got killed, Notch was able to keep his territory for 2 more years. His sons were fully independent when they got chased out, probably 3yo already or close to that.
Right. I think the youngsters were not 3 years old when Notch started to raise them, about 2 and a half.
