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.

It’s not often we get to spend time with this male largely due to a significant leg injury that has seen him rather nervous around vehicles at times and inferior to other younger as well as more experienced males within the reserve.
Nevertheless, it is great to see him back in Thornybush after spending quite some time in Timbavati with his late brother whom I have been led to believe was unfortunately taken by a buffalo.
I am eager to see what unfolds in the coming months with this male and the influx of younger males into the central as well as northern sections of the reserve.

How old is he??
Is he the same male lion who after his brother death once was in coalition with xikukutsu males ( younger brother of S. and N. Acocas), who later on leaves him and governed black dam pride.
