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.

Watching Tumbela getting attacked was very sad for me considering he's my favorite solitary lion, but I'm happy he escaped without serious injuries.
It wasn't smart of him to roar, but it shows he is feeling confident with his condition being good and his limp getting better.
Anyway as I usually say, many males escape getting caught by 2 males because often the attacking coalition doesn't put enough effort, being satisfied with just asserting their dominance... And this was a territorial challenge made by Tumbela who was roaring, even then PCM didn't put the effort.
This isn't the first or even second time he got caught by the PCM.
Edit: And I almost forgot to say, these videos show again how big the PCM are, although not among the tallest, they have long bodies and are very bulky, especially Makhunga he looks like a bear, huge difference in bulkiness between him and Tumbela.
