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 don't see anything that stands out with that that any other lion can do. Look what happened to the Koppies lioness with Junior NK eating her with other females. I think it happens all the time unfortunately by a lot of different lions and we might not witness it. The 2 PC Boys are very impressive tho!
The PC boys have calmed down a lot since getting a pride and cubs. They are whatever they are.
Junior may have started eating his lioness, but I don't think it was because he was part of the killing. I've seen lionesses do the very same thing with with a cub who dies. It is not done to display power or in anger.
I believe Jr began to eat her to keep other predators from coming to eat her. It was his natural response. The Mbiris probably had a different reason.
In fact, later I think Junior was looking around for the remaining Koppies lioness and cubs when his face got mortally swollen.
Junior's mistake was bringing the Mbiri lionesses back into the area of the Koppies in the first place. Dumb move! It changed everything in the area.
Five lions dead and most likely ten of them when all was said and done.
