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.

Are they usually seen more often? I know there are some knee-jerk reactions by lion fans regarding the death of lions, their supposed fatal injuries, etc....so we should give it a bit more time. However, if they are usually seen in certain areas they go missing in, that might be a warning. I hope they weren't caught by other lions or worse yet, poached. (Would be hard to take only one out since the two are almost always together!) I'm sure there are poachers scrolling through the lion pride groups on FB and here from time to time, let's hope that the rangers/guides/anti-poaching units are vigilant in the most dangerous areas and especially around well-known coalitions. There were WAY too many lions that have gone missing in the past few years not too far from where the S. Avocas have their prides....
And now Tank hasn't been seen in a few weeks. Let's hope all 3 very well-known lions with prides are safe.
Saw a new video of both S Avocas this morning. 1 was with a female and the other wwas getting chased off by his brother.
Unfortunately I also read Tank Gomo hasn't been seen in 3 weeks.
That sighting has now been confirmed to be near the Hamiltons tented camp on S36. 45 kilometers north of their territory.
