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.

Awesome video of this beast! Thanks for sharing in the Mapogo thread.
I've took this screenshot at the time at I was watching the video. Such a shame that he killed by humans...
He has one of the most beautiful manes among the Mapogo lions and around Sabi Sands in those times. A true warrior that has ended on a very sad end

Great videos of the twins. To this day I am amazed that PB survived that mauling from the Selatis. Such an incredible coalition, every single one of them. They each played a role in the success of that legendary coalition.

Up close and personal with Othawa M!
He's so similar with the current Othawa boy (Junior).

The Ximungwe pride in the Sabi Sand try to push out a sub adult cub they do not recognise. The harsh reality of nature is sometimes hard to watch but this is how only the strongest genes survive.
The Mohawk Mapogo male played a prominent role, he was always looking to get invlolved in a scuffle.

A very awesome video clip of the Mapogo lions and the Ximhungwe pride having a disagreement each-other, as the Xinhumgwe pride and Mr T were attacking to a sub-adult cub that they don't recognize it. 
Mr T chasing off to Makhulu for a short period of time during. What a legends!

Great video @"TinoArmando" The strength of Mr T, tossing aside that lioness as if she was just a cub, incredible. Certainly seemed like everyone was confused. Do we know who the sub-adult that they were attacking was? Thank you my friend!

He was Ximhungwe sub adult. His mother died and since then other lionesses did not accept him as part of the pride and therefore atacked him.
