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.

Not too long ago, I saw a post with a photo of a very hefty maneless male with a female. The animals were in the distance, perhaps by a watering hole but I am not sure. As the male was maneless I thought I saw it in this thread but cannot seem to find it anymore. I figured I’d post to see if someone has this photo.

What a fantastic video. This look like a young male lion of approximately roughly the five years old. As far I know the lions from this area has small manes, but I doubt It very much small as this

Unfortunately lions in Niokolo Koba don't grow big manes due to their low population and reduced prey availability, so that is about as big as it can get for now. Hopefully in the future they can look more like this

Wow, that's a shame. Hopefully this will change soon. The lack of preys affect on a lot of factors, not only mane, also health, strength and growth
