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.

Great mini-doc on Solo!! You can see that close-up footage of him posted earlier, when he was near rangers. He really is a fine looking specimen of a lion! It's very unfortunate that he waited until 11/12 of age to head into Kruger, he might have had much more success with partners and prides there.... Maybe he got in a few good years, we'll never know. There has not been a single update on Solo since he disappeared into Kruger. It's possible that he survived because SO MANY lions are in that park, never filmed or seen. We only see a tiny amount of thousands.
There were just many large, aggressive coalitions in Sabi Sands during his prime. He didn't have any blood brothers to leave with and was unlucky with his partners.
He developed to have a marvelous build with pretty good height, too.
I think any update on him would have been the most anticipated and long-awaited one..... He turned 15 in July.
