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.

Even now, there are many who ask over and over where the male offspring are and nobody knows except for the two that took off in KNP, then suddenly disappeared.
Would be even more intriguing to find out the exact amount of surviving offspring sired by each of the males....percentage wise. This could generate endless discussions and excitement, LOL. Hard to believe Satan systematically killed the last set of cubs by his coalition. No, they had to be his even though he must have known they were at least his brothers. The cannibalizing of those lions he killed. Wonder what triggered such aggression and the need to dominate at all costs? Extremely high testosterone running rampant? Almost unnaturally so. I guess lots of competition can trigger unnatural behaviors....
It is normal for a male lion to try to kill cubs which are not potentially his.
