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.

Man, I hate seeing that, it is infuriating because of why he gets treated like this.
Such strange behavior. The dynamics of this pride are so baffling. They’re really quite a bipolar pride
Reminds me of the way Red Road was treated by the Nharus after his fight with the Tintswalos, only much more prolonged. Maybe there is something in the water in Manyeleti.

Our boy WE sure does get around, and everyone he meets, including dominant pride males, seems completely at ease in sharing a meal with him. He is the ultimate diplomat.

The most sociable male young adult I’ve ever come accross. He had mastered the Jedi mind trick to have gotten to feast with
Talamati, Nkuhuma, Imbalis, Talamati Breakaways at different times. Wow

Exactly! He also ate with Dark Mane (likely the easiest going male lion ever, but still), and S8, both while they were dominant males. I am sure we are leaving some out, but it really is remarkable. When he ate with S8, S8 came running at him on one of his (WE's) own kills, and he barely raised his head to look up, just kept right on eating, like help yourself, mi casa su casa.

Absolutely, if I were a researcher of animal behavior, I would focus on Wonky Eye

Saw that clip and many were saying that it's because WE is the son of the S8 male, so therefore they already knew each other and didn't react aggressively. Not sure if this is true, but would explain the non-aggression. S8 wasn't trying to oust him at all and seemed to recognize the young male after he came barreling towards him.

Yeah, I read he was believed to be the young Imbali Male, back when it happened, and asked about it. I was told on here that he was only mistaken for the young Imbali male, two different males.
Yeah when he first showed up in the Manyeleti in June 2020 he was already decently sized. It had only been a year since the S8 had taken over the Imbali Pride
