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.

I do not like the look and sound of this.   She’s been this way all week.   No sub adult seen in over three weeks ?

She probably was alive before this wailing started a week ago. But at one point the two likely got separated and the daughter might have been killed without the mother knowing.

Glad to hear she's still looking in amazing shape. Hopefully his daughter is around. She's a tough girl

It is fantastic to see Purple eyes and some members of Nkuhuma Pride. The young males are absolutely stunning - at some point whenever they become independent they will form a mighty coalition of their own. It's not often that we see them, so it is amazing to see how they are doing. 

Note: 0:44 on your left, it looks like the oldest subadult male and he looks beautiful and also it's good to see him sitting close to other subadults.

He is so big, shame for his brother who died, i remember like it was yesterday as these 2 where first introduced to the pride and where annoying Mohawk and Blondie, also sighting when these 2 meet Nkuhuma and Big Boy and Ridge Nose was not happy then, and look at him now :

Shame for these last remaining lionesses form the legendary prides, we lost the Sparta pride earlier this year and now it seems more and more likely Ximungwe daughter is no more.

Lets hope that the last lionesses from Tsalala and Southern prides raise their daughters to adulthood. By the way, I haven’t seem update on them for a while, so any recent info will be appreciated.

Princess Tsalala is already an adult. Just have to wait before she can add new members to the pride.
