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.

Lions of Sabi Sands

Makhulu Mapogo male vs Ravenscourt male.

I recall watching this back in the days and its good to remember this interaction that despite not having any physical confrontation in the video, you can still feel the tense atmosphere when there's 2 rival adult male lions in the same place close to one another where only one of the two shall stay.





Year: 2007

''On our last evening at Londolozi, our guide followed a lion that was looking for his pride. We followed him into the bush, at one point in time. The safari drive was spent following two lions (Makhulu Mapogo & Ravenscourt male) who were having a territorial encounter. Ravenscourt /Castleton Male was chased off by Makhulu Mapogo.''

Yes its her.

Jesus that mane on OM, especially when its time of the year when a lot of males lose a bit of mane, but not this guy..

He looks like Masai Mara lion and prime Hairy Belly with that mane, look at that lenght over his shoulders :

"The young Nkuhuma and Styx males joined up briefly with a younger coalition of two males; we think they may be from Sand River Pride but are awaiting confirmation. They robbed the Tsalala pride of their impala kill but fortunately neither Tsalala lioness was injured in the scrap. The bush is now slowly starting to thin out and the overpowering greens are slowly fading to a mixture of tawny and less vibrants shades. There is certainly a nip the air as we set off on morning drives."

Plains camp males?
