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.

It's quite surprising to me that an injured lion falls from the dominant position of No. 1 to No. 3 in an instant and that even Pride rejects No. 3. It is understandable that Pride refuses to cut unnecessary numbers, considering (food fights, chances of survival) etc. immediately after Nclie is injured.
But almost a year? It feels a little unproductive to reject long hours.
Because Nclie is not in a state where there is no chance of a fight or can't walk.
If they had an invader coming in, surely 3 would be better than 2, but the only reason why it is not yet fully accepted by Pride is because of the food race?
It's painful to see a male lion in his prime wasting golden time.
Damn human beings...?
I read an earlier post that stated Ncila bullied Lambile constantly especially on kills so they probably didn’t have the best bond. Mandevu and Lambile seem to work well together and have a strong bond and have a good relationship with the lionesses and Cubs. Lambile is from another pride and was adopted when he was younger so that’s a theory on why Ncila was rough. Lambiles blood brothers were the Tumbela coalition/male.
My personal theory on why the lionesses were wary of him for so long is he maybe bullied the lionesses and Cubs. It’s one thing to chase off lionesses from a kill but at least let the Cubs eat.
Note this is just a thought I had, I’m not saying this is for sure what happened.
As Ncila heals and feels better he’s starting to asset hisself more. I really really hope he’s mellowed out and he works with the other two…they need him after all.
