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.

They can, same as humans, but they need to be identical twins, otherwise they'll be 50% with their full siblings.

I love all 4 boys but K4 is the main man, the top boy. But he needs a better name than 'K4'.

Idk but personally i would say a simple name in english refering to his character (personality and/or physical traits) should be enough.
Just like one of his brothers, called by some as 'Grumpy' and now '3tooth'

K4 has 1 unique "feature".

Notice when he walks how his tail is hanging "loose" straight down, unlike most of lions who's tail is slightly curved at the top.

I remember Diamond Toulon had the same tail style, which loooks badass.

Idk if his tail is broken, or just "loose" like that naturally.

So we could reffer to him with something about his tail.

Broken Tail, Loose Tail ?

Suggestions?

I hadn't noticed this just yet. Rewatched the video and its pretty clear there.

Have you noticed that previously or that video made it more evident?

I noticed that while ago (prob ~1 year ago), you can look at older videos aswell and will notice it.

Not sure but i think his upper part of tail might be broken, but not visible dislocated like for Kinky Tail Lubyelubye, but thats the reason why it appears loose at the top and not curved.

Really interesting and definitly unique characteristic of him among his brothers indeed. 

I'll try to come up with suggestions  Like
