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.

Are you sure? He was seen many times with the Western pride with the large blonde male and both were referred to as a Jacaranda males, and according to Charlie Lynam from the Ingwelala Trust he was one of the four brothers, and there are many photos of him with the other three boys as subadults in Motswari. It is difficult to make allthese connections, but I'd like to see your research before I accept it.
101% sure
Here are a few pics of three Jacaranda males, the fourth is the biggest, which was present with a lioness a few meters away of them
