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.

His destiny will be much harder as he is not only a solo boy, but born to a lone lioness. Will be interesting to watch his story unfold in the coming months and years, if he survives that long.
Was BiBi Tsalala's first successful litter Tailed, Tailless, and Solo? If this litter of 2+1 is half as legendary, they'll do just fine!
Yes, as was answered, Solo was from the second litter from the same males, the Split Rock Males. Unfortunately, as many litters born to aging males are, he got a bit unlucky compared to his sisters. Through his older, full sisters, and his mother, Bibi, his blood runs in the veins of the Mangheni, Tsalala, and Kambula Prides. His female relatives went on to have cubs with the Mapogos. Wished there was more effort to follow him when he decided to vanish into Kruger after many years of losing partner after partner in Sabi Sands as it was so competitive. At least now, there are many more lone males to bump into and bond with.
