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.
These boys are beasts and carry the blood of legends! 10 years old this year and looking incredible! I believe they were born in 2012.
Their lineage does not get enough credit in my opinion. Makulu & Moria should be mentioned amongst tge mkst successful male lions in recent history. Especially Mak.
I remember seeing their grandfather Makulu when he was 8 years old when i first started following lions more consistantly. Each year that passed after 2010 i was more & more amazed that he was still going! He had a vast territory with a few prides to himself, until his young son caused a big split in his territory. 17 years for a wild male who had many fights is incredible.
Things came full circle when the Hoedspruit boys took over and overthrew their own dad after their first fight in 2016. These boys are huge and look just like Moria!
