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.

More of DM on WildEarth :





I want to see him with his brothers to compare the size difference, he is massive lion just like his father Brutus, one of the biggest males around.

Unfortunately it seems that his front foot will never fully heal as it was most likely broken in the past, but despite that he is still very powerful lion.

Yeah me too, This Boy is a total beast. I think is one of the tallest lions in Sabi Sands, I've see a video from August 2019. And his front foot was looking that was "fractured" or something

I quite clearly remember this day. Overcast & cool we went to spend some time with two male lions after breakfast. They had been found on morning drive feeding on the remains of a Cape Buffalo calf. Such an impressive animal. .
1/2 Southern Avoca male lions.

Blondie and Mohawk seen further in Londolozi (west of Camp, Bboys territory is East of Camp, west of Camp Othawa male can be seen), it seems that they've chased somebody this far south from their territory, or chased some lions from a kill, because there was a lot of hyenas around, it could be either Mhangenis or Styx prides, or even Othawa male or Nkuhuma/Styx young males.

Styx pride will soon definetly search a males to mate with, and this 2 males are currently on Styxs old territory, will be interesting to see if they will compete for Styx pride, and that could attract them further southwest towards western Londolozi/Singita (i think they where seen in Singita with Nkuhumas a day ago) and close to Othawa male.

I think these 2 boys are definetly not in control of Torchwood pride (as some rangers said) because they are currently hanging out way to far west to have any contact with Torchwoods who are far east, and if they where, they would definitely spend and mate all the time with 10 Torchwood lionesses, and not hanging here..

A distance which can keep for both coalitions.

Of the Avoca push more to east, I'm sure the Boys accept the challenge.
