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.

The dominant coalition on MalaMala and likely one of the most successful coalitions of this area. Once five strong the coalition is now down to two. Although they’re starting to get pressure from younger males, these two are still without a doubt a force to tread carefully around.

There is already barely any space on Tinyo's face without a scar. There will be even more scars on his face soon as Kambulas are coming into heat again.

Without a place doubt! Tinyo been looking very rough since the early years of the BBoys reign. His face was completely of scars due fights with his brother by mating rights, disagreements with the lionesses etc etc.

One of the remaining Birmingham males Tinyo which name means (Tooth) previously known as Floppy ear or # 3. Tinyo always had the most badass looking among the five Birmingham males after the death of his beloved brother Scrapper. His scarred face has many stories to tell, without a doubt!
