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.

An interesting video that purports to show the meeting of Mr. T and Kinky Tail with the other 4 Mapogos, after the split. It shows a lioness and her cubs being attacked, but doesn't explain which lioness it was, or who had fathered the cubs. It also says it is a rare video, I can only confirm that I myself had not seen it before. Enjoy!

Down memory lane with some magnificent and notorious male Lions of the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. This is Mr.T from the notorious Mapogo coalition showing some aggression to his brother who was getting too close to his lady!! Taken just below the tree house at Safari Lodge, Ulusaba in 2010.

This is one of my favorite shots of a young Makulu of the notorious Mapogo coalition at Ulusaba, South Africa. This was taken with the original Canon eos digital camera and a 70-300mm lens in 2009.

He was 12 years old at that time, Look his shape, Look that mane!
He was a true legend and probably, only once in a lifetime

It is purely speculated date. No one even know from which pride Makhulu came from and even speaking about knowing exact date of birth.

Rather 98/99. The page didicated to Mapogos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HibcaIgT6Q&ab_channel=THEMAPOGOS-LionsofSabiSand) sets in on October 1998 which I believe is more or less accurate.
