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.

He almost 'gave up' to some extent, choosing to stay in territory already taken over by other males and not moving forward. I was hoping that he'd start to live again after the death of Blondie Tumbela...or at least move on after a few months. However, it's been years now, and it's safe to say that he has now almost deteriorated to the point of no return. He would need a miracle to turn around his state of health.
I wouldn´t count him out yet, he if gets a good coalition partner and move on to a place without dominant males maybe he can continue his story that so far has been quite sad but hey he is not an unsuccessful lion at all, his two girls are almost at an age where they´ll start to breed and keep his legacy alive, I do hope he can recover from this, I might be wrong on this but isnt he sired by Sizanani? If it is maybe beating the odds might be in his blood aswell lol
He's most likely (if not definitely) sired by the Skorro male (Sizanani's partner), hence his name being Skorro Jr.
He truly has seen far better days. Much like the BDMs and the Nkuhuma male, I think he'll stand a better chance of bouncing back if he moves on elsewhere.
