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.

These channels often like to post sensationalist stuff like this for views and likes. If this trend is anything to go by, I would bet that Casper is doing just fine as we speak. Channels like SCAR, Big on Wild and Lion Dynamics of Sabi Sands are way more reliable sources of information.

100% accurate, there are literally channels who are known to sensationalize with just about every video they post, some even go so far as to interfere with nature, like the guy who moved a dead male lion, only to move it back when the outcry became too loud. If memory serves it was one of the S26 males, he moved on the same day he was killed.

@BA0701

About #602:


I clearly think that this video (commented by the D.A's voice) is a rushed one. Casper's views are mixed with captive white lions' ones, as if they didn't had enough document about Casper just. So, clearly a fake ? Yes probably, to feed the rumor mill. Kruger is a big park, Casper knows how to be very discreet during several weeks, and it would be not the first time he should do this. Let us respect the nature and its choices...

Here it is ! Casper hilights the versatility of the human communication and the frenetically need to talk about sensations. Casper is alive and well...








" Casper the White Lion is alive and in good health, contrary to recent rumors and false reports circulating on YouTube and other social media platforms. These misleading claims suggest that Casper died in a sanctuary from heart failure caused by a calcium deficiency, but this information is entirely false. It’s important not to believe everything you come across online, especially when it comes to the wellbeing of beloved animals like Casper.
Rest assured, this channel is committed to providing accurate and reliable updates on Casper’s condition. However, there is some concerning news about Casper’s brother, Casanova, who is currently in poor health and has tested positive for tuberculosis (TB). We will continue to monitor the situation closely and keep you informed with factual updates as they develop.

I will look back and see if I can find it, but for sure the incident happened. If I find it, I will send it in a PM, as I would rather not get traffic to the site.

Recent sighting of Casper and the 3 brothers...







" 21 nov. 2024

The Shish Coalition was filmed on 20 Nov 2024 about 8,5 km on the S100 from the H1-3.

They were laying in the veld 07:30 and stood up and moved to another tree in the intense heat...35 degrees Celsius and more...

Footlose and Casper is fine but both Cassanova and Mofuyethu is limping and their condition is poor.

Pressure is building in their territory  and competion between rival lions is heating up!

To the east the Southern Pride Males is currently at Shibotwana Waterhole and putting pressure on the Shish Coalition.

A few days back the S90/Ngotso South male and his brother was mating with a Satara pride female for 3 days 2 km north of Satara Camp...no Shish male in sight...

It looks like they are currently sticking together and moving as a unit...good news!

Last but not last...








22 nov. 2024
Following a bold move by the old Ngotso male lion and his younger coalition partner from Nkaya Pan to chase the Satara Lion Pride from their favoured Shibotwana Waterhole territory, tensions flared across the savanna. Casper, the iconic White Lion, alongside his formidable Shishangaan brothers, who lead the Satara Pride, took swift action to reaffirm their claim. In a dramatic display of power and unity, the brothers unleashed a mighty roaring performance, their voices echoing across the plains—a stark warning to the intruders and a declaration of their unyielding dominance over the disputed territory.
Footage filmed by Eliska Swanepoel on the S100 during a late Game Drive close to Satara Rest Camp in Kruger National Park. "

Update: Casper The White Lion And Shishangaan Brothers

***Please note: Archive footage was used in this video.***



Description of the Video:
Significant developments have occurred within the Satara Lion Pride, led by Casper the White Lion and his coalition of Shishangaan brothers. These changes reflect the turbulent dynamics of lion prides in Kruger National Park.


About a week ago, the Satara Pride faced an intense confrontation with the Old Ngotso male and his coalition partner, the younger Nkaya Pan male. This clash near the Nwanetsi River, close to the Shibotwana waterhole on the S100, forced the Satara Pride to scatter. In the aftermath, pride members were seen in small, fragmented groups across different areas.

The situation has raised serious concerns about the fate of the pride's younger members. The whereabouts of two young cubs and two subadult lions remain unknown.

Shishangaan Brothers' Status
Recent sightings of the Shishangaan brothers revealed troubling signs:
• Casper was spotted with numerous bite marks and appeared to be limping more severely than usual.
• Another brother, believed to be Mfowethu, was also seen in poor condition.
• Footloose, however, appeared to be in excellent shape and was described as looking strong and healthy.
• Casanova has not been seen, and his current status and location are unclear.

It will be sad, but we may be coming to the end of the Shish males.  Sad
