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.

The Mbiri males were originally a coalition of 2 males but one of the males disappeared in 2015. (His brother is missing and presumed dead. not 100% on that.) The Mbiri males were fathered by the Matimbas and they come from the Mbiri pride.
This video was taken last year
this is the comment for the video - Christof Schoeman: "Its one of the Mbiri males that left with the other breakaways that was part of the original mbiri pride. This is NOT an old male but a young male (of about 3 and a half) thats just in bad condition due to being by himself in a massive open eco system. He did return and meet up with his brothers but on one occasion they mauled him at a buffalo carcass and thats how he picked up the injuries that you see in the clip. They've seen him again few days ago and he is in much better condition."
