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.

absolutely nonsense imo.
He is full of puncture / bite like wounds in his front paw and neck, i dont think a car can bite.
But that could be a possibility but i dont see how.
his arm appears to be broken and he doesn't seem to have any bite marks on his back which is always the case when a lion is attacked by other lions. I guess that's what makes some people say he was hit by a car and also Lions love to lie down on roads

His only way out would be if vets treat him
I've never seen anything like this, he looks broken and someone tried to put the pieces togheter ( figuratively)
I know we just cant count them out and they can recover from almost anything it seems sometimes, but man... This seems to me like a dead lion walking, I dont see how he can recover from that leg, it looks like its twisted I dont know ... I hope not

Maybe he got in a scuffle with a hyena? They do have a bite that can break bones. The injury does look like a bite but what kind of strength is needed to break all those bones so badly? I hope he’s ok and he gets treated. He needs to find his pride or brothers to help him while he heals.

Unfortunatly this too is nature. If he survives he showed that he has what it takes to be competive in thecharsh natural world and if not his death will give others an opportunity to live.

I'd put mmoney on thats from other adult, territorial males. Hes lucky to be alive, maybe his brother saved him or the culprits lost interest which we have seen many times. Or maybe he was able to put up a fight good enough to make the culprits stop just short of killing him.
Names me sad everything I see an injured animal. Thays nature tho, literally survival of thr fittest. Hope he makes it and can continue on with his brother.
turns out we are not 100% that the limping male is 1/9 of the Saba Bora, i saw alot of people claiming he is one of Bob Jr sons
anyways, many of you probably already know, but he was treated back on early july.

"King Atlas 1/7 Saba Bora Males, Such a Magnificent Lion, his eyes and his golden manes.
Found him 2 days ago, his eyes could tell me how focused he was on the plains watching Hartbeests as they graze. Suddenly he stood up and I could tell how hungry he was. Swipe to see the Video
His Heap hasn't recovered well as he is limping and not able to hunt effectively."
