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.

Even though she has been with them for her entire life, she's still a female and therefore doesn't have the same sort of bond that lions build with members of the same gender.
Well, theres a reason why young males and females from same pride eventualy split even on their own (in most cases).
Males when reach sexual maturity will see her as potential mate, and not as their sister (all 3 males where sniffing around her and K4 even flehmen grimacing).
She is obiviously not in estrus and even if she where, she doesnt really want to mate with them (again, in most cases), so theres a conflict.
