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.

Mayambula male lion #1 on a mission at Kruger
With recent report of a interaction between a Kumana male and a Mayambula male, this 'commotion' could be associated with the Kumana male.

Ha, as I first began to look at this picture, I, of course, first focused on the lion, but in my peripheral I picked up a wildebeest lying there next to him, and my mind thought, surely that cannot be. So I focused on the "wildebeest" to find it is a log, and all was right with the world again.

Mbiri males in Ngala:
Text says:
"these boys have been through some battles…
known as Scar & Shaka, the “2 strongest male lions ever documented”, i have heard tales of the Mbiri males’ legacy — they murder other lions, and not in a “it’s just the circle of life” kinda way.
it’s common for male lions to kill others that encroach on their territory, but these two take it to a whole new level of savagery that we don’t need to get into here on this family channel ?
for now, they’re just doing what lions do (sleeping) but i can tell you that that unhinged jaw will haunt me for some time. look at it flap when he walks. our time here is far from over so let’s see if some action awaits…
and as always, message me at @adventurelust.travel for a chance to see these boys irl"
If those are still from Mandevu ( he had dried blood on his face the day before Mandevu was found ), he might have been the most aggressive like he was in the Guernsey fight, as Shaka doesn't seem to have many new facial scratches if any.
A contrast to their younger days when Shaka was almost always the one to get more injuries in their fights.

While such claims are entirely unverifiable, subjective, and overly dramatic, in the case of these two, there might be a sliver of truth to it. They are certainly brutal, sometimes more so than we see on a regular basis, Gurnsey Male comes to mind. But, we have also seen such brutality before, many times, in fact. The Mluwathis, the Birminghams, and those are only a couple that pop right up.
