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.

He should be fine, many big cats go through superficial wounds like this.
Gabbar, Prince of Pench, Naaka Kata, to name a few all had nasty rostrum wounds.
Big cats are resilient, these wounds come with the territory. He'll be all good in no time, he'll be scarred but this isn't a beauty pageant.

Scars do usually make it easier to ID, especially with lions.

From Nkorho Rangers
29 September (morning)
- Went back to the Styx, Birmingham and cubs. While we were there another one of the males came to join and the males had a bit of a fight. Seems as though this one isn't liked very much seeing as he already has a huge wound on his face.

From Nkorho Bush Lodge, credits to Karin Van Der Merwe:
"One of the many things I love about the bush, is that you never know what to expect next. This morning after breakfast, we had the pleasant surprise of finding one of the Birminghams very close to the lodge. This is really a beautiful male!"

One of the Birmingham boys staring at a Elephant herd moving towards him. After a while the ellies chased him away but the male soon made his way back to his kill.
