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.

Actually i dissagree.
I dont think "achievements" like number of offspring, prides, territory size, battle wons etc. are determined factors what makes male lions/coalitions famous and legendary (atleast for me).
Its their characters and stories which we follow, and often these types of "underdog/unlucky/tragic/unique" stories are more compelling and interesting to us, because in some way we can "relate" to them.
I agree with that, my point was more he won’t be recognised universally as a legendary lion. NK when it’s all said and done will be a legendary lion to me, no matter how little success he’s had up until this point of his life, bar still being alive ofc. He’s just got a story u won’t ever forget, and is the first male anyone will compare to any nomadic males who resemble part of his lifestyle.
