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.

How Casper, the famous white lion, looks after a hard-earned meal. 

The pride took down a buffalo a couple of weeks ago; this was the aftermath.

Amazing sighting!

Last or one of the last videos dated from 2 days about Casper and its brothers.








" Filmed on the 25th of June 2024 next to the S100 close to Satara Rest Camp in Kruger National Park.
Casper the White Lion and his Shishangaan brothers have been leading the Satara Lion Pride for nearly five years. As they turn ten years old in 2024, they have managed to hold their territory near the Satara Rest Camp in Kruger National Park without facing significant challenges from other lions. Despite nearing the end of their lifespan, they are still frequently seen with the Satara Pride, including two young lion cubs. However, with many young male lions nearby looking to take over a pride, it's uncertain how much longer they can maintain control as the Shishangaan brothers begin to show signs of aging.

How old were the Shishangaan brothers when they took over their first pride? Did they displace any males?
also how big is Satara pride? They only have two cubs?

Casper is ten years old, yes ! Happy birthday !







" Casper the White Lion, alongside his Shishangaan brothers, marked a significant milestone as they celebrated their tenth birthday. The festivities began with a grand feast, consisting of a zebra they had hunted the previous night. This communal meal was a testament to their prowess and the strong bond they share.
After satiating their hunger, Casper and a lioness made their way down to the river for a refreshing drink. They were soon joined by one of Casper's brothers, all three basking in the serene atmosphere of the Kruger National Park. With their bellies full and their spirits high, it was a moment of peace and contentment.
Not one to ignore his admirers, Casper then took a leisurely walk down the road, acknowledging the tourists who had come to witness the majesty of the white King on his special day. His regal presence and the awe he inspired were palpable, making the day memorable for all who were there.
We extend our heartfelt wishes to Casper the White Lion and his Shishangaan brothers, hoping for many more years of health, strength, and adventure. Happy Birthday, Casper!

Great looking fella. Saw that his mother is unfortunately on her way out as she's separated herself from the pride recently.
