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.

Only thing that I've read online that people agree on is it is a cleft pallet, like a birth defects and was born with it. I don't consider it a defect for him but more like a moniker!!! It gives him character!!! Supposedly he's dealing with the quintessential lion rear hip injury currently. Im waiting to see some rescent pics of him as I haven't in a while!

That is exactly why I asked, because it indeed looks just like a cleft pallet, and if it is it'll be the first I have heard of in a species outside of humans. Not saying it doesn't/can't happen, I have just not heard of it. Thank you for that! Do let us know if you get any news on these boys, thank you my friend!
