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.

So Sharp Eyes and Orange Mane are the same lion? If not I thought it was the Boss, Sharp Eyes, and the 5th with his 1/2 nephew/son left of the coalition? 

Just to clarify.... what were the names of the 5 brothers.???

There are 3 Mantimahles alive, Charcoal mane (Boss) and Orange mane. 5th males is also alive but hasnt been seen in a while. Only 1/2 sons are alive. The 2nd Mantimahles name was Honest Face and idk about the name of the 4th one

Edit: 4th Mantimahles name is Sharp Eye although am not 100% sure.

Orange Maned male is missing, only Boss and Sharp Eyes are presumed alive together, 5th is not with them, but no updates on him and son recently.

Going back through this awesome thread (and so many other threads here), tons of photos are blank and dead.        Cluttering up the whole thread. I don't understand why pics straight up disappear?        Is there a way we can clean this whole lion section of the forum up  by bringing back all of the photos?

Unfortunately no, we can't, I understand fully how bothersome it can be. It is other sites that often change links, stop sharing, or outright delete the photos that are shared from their sites. If we deleted those posts it would hurt the continuity of the site, such as people reading the site would come across tons of replies without seeing the post being replied to

Is this "The Boss" aka Charcoal Mane or is this "Sharp Eyes"? I don't know the differences.
