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.

The Boss of Mapogos
By gabriel contreras
Makhulu the boss! He wasnt always the boss, He started from the bottom. Mak believed to have been born out of the Tsalala pride attached himself to the Sparta and West street males in late 2000 as an 18 month old subadult. He was treated horribly by the sparta lionesses and the west street males also beat him but he stayed submissive and was barely tolerated by the males due to him being fathered by them. Mak had a very tough life as a young lion the smallet cubs even had higher status than he did and would jump all over him and he let them. Mak was very patient and loved his little step brothers (the Mapogos) but Mak eventually grew into the really huge and impressive male and would help the Sparta lionesses hunt big pray and protect his little brothers/sisters so became a very valuable member of the Sparta pride, he also help out his rapidly aging fathers who were under pressure from the much younger and stronger Splitrock males who wanted to push them out their kingdom but Mak was their fathers bodyguard so the Splitrock males were rather cautious and never fully attempted a takeover till the West street males died of disease...... Then Makhulu left along with th e terrible 5 young sparta males and the Sabi sands would never be the same. R.I.P King Mak 1998-2013
