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.

She's definitely daughter of HB, Pink nose and the teeth aren't worn and yellow, which indicates that she's still a cub/sub-adult.

Nice find.
So this is her mother? Face, eyes and whisker spots are almost indentical.

Based of that i was claiming she is one of the older, but that picture proves that she is sired by S. Matimbas.
The first time I saw this photo, I was struck by the fact that this lioness does not really look like a younger version of Smudge Nose. At most, I thought she was an older female relative, maybe an aunt or mother. She lacks the ridges and 'wizened' look of SN. A photo in the Torchwood Pride Facebook Group remarked on the striking amber eyes of some of the females and males that were coming of age.
