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.
A young#blackdam male #lion seen at the end of 2014 just after he took over the #monwanapride territory in the north of the reserve here @royalmalewane in South Africa. He was recently killed by his two sons after suffering a fatal injury during a buffalo hunt, that weakened him enough to lose his final battle for his continued dominance. He was a local and international legend, being seen and photographed by thousands of people on their photographic #safaris

To my eye it is actually Timbavati male on the picture, not Black Dam male.
