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.

@BA0701, I was wrong about the dates. It was actually still 2016. The Avoca-Giraffes were nosing around. The Mapozas had just emerged on the scene. Mabande the Survivor was still hanging on. The Thanda Impis were going strong. The Ross males weren't even in their prime yet and the Trilogy Males were at the end of theirs. It was an exciting time for lion dynamics.
Looking back, one thing that really bums me out is that the Zebenine Pride (then known as the Ross Breakaways) didn't have any stability then and still don't to this day. All of their cubs were killed by either new males taking over or bigger prides. It's down to one lioness. I haven't seen an update about her in quite a while. I hope she will leave the area and find a better territory.
I saw your other post referencing the situation with the Ross Males and the BYM. It is miraculous and dumbfounding. I figured they would kill him if they ever caught him again, and now they're eating together?!?!? I guess the Ross Males are as shocked as we are at the cajones on that guy, lol. I'm glad they didn't kill him, though. Maybe it will become a Mapoza/Xikukustu situation.
And how about DM Avoca hanging out with a nomadic young lion? It'd be cool if that was the start of a Mohlabetsi situation. Interesting times these are. Not quite as chaotic as 2016, but still...
