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.

What a chilling roar. He is big considering his age. A imposing beast

The scar-eyed Tumbela, whom I've always personally admired for his looks and presence since their first appearance over a year ago in the western part of Sabi Sands with his two brothers. He had begun gradual acquisitions with his brothers, displacing the old Hairy Belly Matimba in the late 2020s and it is believed that he may have even encountered and fought with HB Matimba in a battle that eventually led to a deep wound in Hairy Belly face and other damage as well.

Scar was once the dominant, then suddenly his health began to deteriorate very badly during his last months, as he suffered from a disease that may have been TB, in addition to this he received beatings subjected to from his brothers for domination. In his last appearance, he looked pale and awaited death, and I personally expected that he would not last a week, and unfortunately it was the last sighting of him, and then he went to die in peace. No official statement or report was issued about his death. But by following him. This beautiful king will always have a place in my heart and will not be forgotten. Sleep in peace away from the suffering you lived for many years and the last days of your life. 

Sabi Sands, South Africa.

He might just be at the Ximhungwes. Its not like he was at deaths door or something. People really need to stop speculating about this lion to be honest. Its getting ridiculous.
Whats next, aliens took him?

Also, wasnt that scar on HB from a hunt?. This is the first I see it linked to the Tumbellas

There's nothing wrong with speculating about a lion that isn't in the best condition and hasn't been seen for several days, I don't see what's ridiculous about it.

Oh.. dont get me wrong. I am all for a little speculation.
Its just that when I posted that I just got from facebook, where they are already making conspiracy theories about him.

Which is worrying becouse it could easily turn into harrasment. Not to mention that it things go sour  The people on the ground may stop giving us info.

His condition has improved. Although he lost a bit of mane. Hopefully, his mane will fill up again. With good meals, it just matter of time to his mane grown well and healthy.
