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 read info on the 7 but don't remember and can't find it anymore. Their name is (if I can remember correctly) 7 Beton Kopjies boys or something to that effect. Sorry, I knew i should have screenshotted the post.

I asked on Twitter and was told they are called the Saba Boro Coalition by guides.  Saba Boro means Great Seven in Swahili.  But I don't believe everything I read on the internet.

They have moved into the pride left by Bob and Marley though from what I've seen.  This is them moving in to claim it.

Definitely not crazy about the name they (guides) came up with for 1 of the 7, but nevertheless, this is the latest information I've come across on them.

Is "Lionlovers" made up of actual guides? I'm not sure guides would give a name like that, names like "Lionlovers" and BK both sound more like a group of adolescents with nothing better to do.

No, the 'Lionlovers' Twitter account is ran by someone from the UK, I believe. We've exchanged numerous information for a while now and nothing has made me believe that he/she is just a kid with nothing better to do. The provided text in the post was directly from the individual (Chabaporini IG) that filmed the encounter between the male lion and female lion. I'm going to add a link to his post if you want to independently verify the text yourself.

Well I can say I certainly find that surprising, thank you for the clarification, and for clearing that up on LionLovers, that helps a lot. Apologies to LionLovers for my poorly directed comment.

Rest in peace beautiful maned Snyggve! 

He wasn't as lucky as his father C-Boy was with/against his own rival coalition named the 4 'Killers' a decade before...
At least, he didn't suffer a lot, didn't survive and wasn't in agony for days or much more, he has died within hours. And from now, he can roam the "Sky (Namiri) Plains" along with his original brother - who has lost very soon - and also with his very faithful coalition partner in the last years: Tryggve. Who also has fallen by the same cruel coalition, it is assumed. 


Here is a very great photo of a much younger but already very beautiful Snyggve with meaningful looking from his heydays (and probably still with his original brother) in his memory:

Great photo of him as a young boy! Hope we get to see their sons grow up and take some prides too. I bet they will be just as impressive!
