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.

This is very strange behavior, idk what is happening with DM, but this doesnt look good.

Why would he distance himself so far from his brothers and his known area?? 

A lot of people believed that he will get accepted back to his brothers, but as we can see, that coalition was prob over for quite some time/years ago.. 

Looks like he is aimlessly roaming around, this is usually behavior of old/sick lions on death doorstep..

Just it is south of SS, that is very, very, very far from DM’s territory. Im wondering why did he even go there

This is in Kruger, south of Lions Sands, in Lion Sands KNP near Skukuza..

He's probably looking for his pride, but if that's the case he has gone in the wrong area..

Dunno. I cannot imagine him being this wrong about his whereabouts or the prides territorial borders. 

He has most likely gone nomadic and trying to cover lots of grounds to look for new opportunities. Though he may still circle back to his old territory if the harshness of life catches up to him.

Southern Pride lioness and her two subadults with a wildebeest kill. Glad to see these three are fine, especially after what happened last week.

Pictured in Feb 2020, the three nomadic Southern-Talamati young males, two of them were the sons of the Selati males. Sadly, no information on these beautiful males since.

Southern male was sired by Fourways males, 2 Talamatis by Selatis. 

There was another Southern male with them, he disappeared earlier around mid- late 2019, he was sired by Charlestons.
