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.

Another great shot of Rob Stewart in Ngala 2006.
Possibly father (if not the father) of the Skorro/Thanda impi male. The resemblances of him and the dominant Tumbela males it's undeniable

Very unfortunate.  The mom has had some struggles with this litter.  Wonder if the fact that these are likely ZZ Mbiri cubs and that’s his sister has something to do with the health of these cubs??

Could be yeah, the Mbiris might all be recessive holders for some genetic disease

Mbiris are 6 lionesses strong, at least one gotta give birth to healthy cubs
