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.

He was a beast, biggest of Majingilanes, you can se confidence in his eyes, which prob lead to his death as he was on his own in enemy territory, but he put a hell of a fight at only 4.5 yrs of age against 2 great warriors themselves..

Saddest thing about lions is to see them killing each others..

He was a big and massive young male for his early age. The 5th Majingilane, Had the confidence that the other four didn't haven't, Considering that he didn't left the buffalo carcass and fight against the two Mlowathi males. That talks a lot about his badass behavior. In many respects, The 5th Majingilane was a great help to the 4 Majingilane males in became dominant, And the first thing was on gain confidence by themselves

The pictures were taken by Karin van der Merwe. It was true,Yes, The skull of the 5th Majingilane was much bigger, But that was because big part of the skull of Kinky tail was eaten by scavengers

Hip Scar was a very good looking male. His stare was very unique and particular. I haven't seen it in much lions.

I agree, Hip Scar had such a unique look and what drew my attention the most about him was his amazing greenish looking eyes.
