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.

Any more info about him?

He used to be the dominant male in the S65 area. He also partnered up with Freddy 'The Kruger male; Let's see if I find more information about him.

Watergate pride is Nwaswitshakas pride i think.

@Brahimlegend said some people think he might be brother of Freddy and Limper before they split, they are similar.

There is nothing more beautiful than to start your morning by watching the pictures of the rare white lion, King Casper!

He is considered the only white wild lion in his prime in the whole world “In addition of two young lions in Birmingham's pride”. He is now seven years old and was recently seen with his 3 brothers mating with lionesses few days ago, maybe the luck will stand with them this time! They did not surrender despite all the battles they fought and surely in the end they will have their own territory!

These amazing pictures were shared with us by Megan, many thanks!

Kruger National Park, South Africa.

An interesting video, not just on young lions from Kruger but also from Sabi Sands and Timbavati.

Thats not good news. Lets hope they thin eachother out to far more manageable numbers as I cant see this being sustainable.

Xihamham, 1 of the 2 Last Shishangaan males had an intense fight in April against two young males intent on taking him out. Xihamham seems to have held his territory though as they still dominate Mananga & Mountain pride.

That's positive news! I can't wait to find out who is that male, because I'm rooting for the last Vurhami male.

@BigLion39 the same two who chased the other Shishangaan and they also killed a lioness from Mananga pride. I think they are sons of Shishangaans because they look like them but couldn’t get confirmation as the guys working at Satara didn’t know them. But they don’t keep record of all the young males from the local prides so they couldn’t verify.

So Vurhami Male is seen with a young male. Probably 1/2 sons of Mjejane males who are nomadic now. Stef Botha apparently has pics she will probably post later
