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.
"Matimba male lions Ginger and Hairy Belly are the most opportunistic male lions in the wild. We may praise HB for surviving this long, but the fact is he (or they with Ginger) doesn't have a solid bloodline so far, meaning none of their litters reached adulthood or dominance."
There is their blood line in Mbiri, Talamati, Torchwood and Nkuchuma prides which they sired alongside with their brothers.
"They use to vanish in secret when their pride and their need them for protection."
Nothink like that ever happened.
"One example to quote is, the sufferings of the Tsalala pride - that is purely because of HB and Ginger. They deserted the pride when they heard the remote distance challenge calls from their rivals. HB ran away like a rabbit and vanished for years before its reappearance to Sabi Sands."
Matshapiri males did more than distant challanges to push Matimbas out.
"Please don't quote about HB chasing Othawa male, that is a different story. Othawa male is really a prince born with silver spoon. Even a domestic cat can make him to run for life. HB can only fight against this kind of lions not against any powerful lion(s)."
Matimbas has much more warfare storys than chassing Othawa male (that was rather out intimidating than chassing tho).
