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.
Quote:I also was wondering when a lion encounters another lion from another pride who is his half brother, do they know they are related.
It depends a lot on the circumstances. For example, some months ago the Othawa and Mhangeni prides had an encounter. The females are half-sisters, daughters of the Mapogo males, but being of separate prides they see each other as enemies.
Likewise, you saw Sanjay's post about the conflict between the Marthly/Tsalala and the Mhangeni prides. The Mhangeni lionesses were born in the Tsalala pride and they left the pride. So now, both prides are enemies, despite being related.
For males, it's the same. If they grew up together in the same pride then they see each other as brothers and would fight other males, like it happened between the Fourways male and the two Styx males, the three of them being Majingilane sons.
