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.

"Well, we dont know for sure, Sumatra male is much older than Hercules, he is 9,10 yrs old i think."
I think rather 8,9 ,but it rather does not matter. His problem was leg injury, not old age.
"Those 2 where in a coalition longer then i've taught, photo of those 2 almost 2 yrs ago, in Klaserie:" "Sumatra in a way raised young Hercules male."
Around mid - late 2017 Sumatra male became dominant male of Hercules pride, so they are together even longer than you think I presume. I am not sure tho from when we can think of them as a coalition. Hercules male was raised by his pride all the way to adulthood. Sumatra male rather did not much in raising Hercules male if anything at all.
