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.

One of his brothers, over mating rights, I presume.

I think they are, but that territory shares a border with the Majingilane coalition as well, so from time to time they may also be seen there when they go on patrol.

Terrible quality video! Got this little recording from my phone and the spotlight was my torch!! But this is right now at Nkorho driveway. These 4 boys should be down at the pan sometime tonight. The fifth male is mating with a female not too far away from them.



Click on the video, the roaring is amazing.

My favourite boys - the Birmingham males at our driveway last night! There were actually 4 of them but only two in this shot. Amazing to hear all of them roar together!

Lion having a drink at night -


This is one of the Birmingham coalitions males in the northern Sabi Sands. The coalition exist of five males. When they initially entered our area they caused big chaos, but seems to have settled down now ..

All lions have larger heads for their size and muscular bodies. I don't think Timbawati lions' physical features should be separated from those of any other lions population.

@Polar I have spoken to rangers that said Timbawati had larger lions than Sabi Sands, it's just a small population, it's like in Okavango Delta where some densetis of lions tends to atleast looks bigger. 

But Timbawati has white lions aswell and they aswell are said to be quite huge, not to mention the heaviest sientific lion weighed where from Timbawati

I don't think they were precisely from Timbavati, but from Manyeleti, that is very close to Timbavati, just to the south.

On the old CarnivoraForums, I've heard the same about the Timbawati lions being larger than Sabi Sands lions, but both pale in comparison to an Okavango lion's weight. Yes, white lions come from the Timbawati population in Krugerland.

I thought the heaviest (not sure if scientific or not) lion was measured in Kenya at 272 kg? Is this true or not?
