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.

Can still see his ribs which is not a good sign and is it just me or has his mane thinned out a bit?
That's the bad news. The good news is that his condition does not seem to have deteriorated since the sighting on WE two weeks ago so some sustenance seems to have come to them. Also, still looks a tight bond in that group. Him, and they, may yet come through to the other side of this rough patch. Coming across a dead elephant would be like manna from heaven.
That damn ankle injury though. He was such a magnificent lion and given the relative lack of intrusion by other males and no larger coalitions out numbering him, I doubt he'd have been in this situation without it.
