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.

Yea, no proof that this act is only sign of dominance, lions might just be happy/excited/affectionated towards partners/brothers, and because of similar emotions who arise when they are with females in estrus, they act the same.

Yes, he is atleast born in 2013, he might be even older then S.Avoca, we dont know.
Theres photo of him and his bro in 2015 with pride, they where around 2-3 (hard to judge), and on photo of him from 2018, he already had full mane.
