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.

Was Selati #3 (aka, Bent Hip) the sire of the Xim. Lioness?  In one photo above, he very much seems to be.

Probably. He is the most similar to her and was the most assertive among his brothers when it came to females and mating rights.

"We watched a group of 4 male lions who were patiently sneaking up on a large herd of Cape Buffalo. They ultimately elected to take a nap and wait. We headed back there later that afternoon in hopes of seeing the hunt's conclusion."
