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.

Apparently it has been a week since even a track of Limper was found.

He was still to healthy to just keel over, so he should still be out there. But he does have a tendency to visit the Ximhungwe pride occasionally, which would be a very bad idea now seeing Nhenha and Nym have taken over.

The way he looked a week ago is worrying. He was skin and hones. He was obviously starving. If he didn't get a meal soon after that, then it doesn't look good. 

His tracks have vanished. Even when he was at his worst, they would still see his tracks. 10 days without any signs of him.  I pray for the best but fear the worst

Rumor has it that Hyenas got him. Though nobody is willing to put their neck out for that being true.

I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. Hyenas in Sabi Sands/ Timbavati region seem to be very bold towards lions and a weak, emaciated individual like Limper would be easy pickings for them.

Nothing.   I’ve asked guides.   No Tracks, no roars….Skorro seen contact calling often.    Doesn’t look good on Limper’s prospects.   Waiting to hear more soon hopefully

The contact calling is kinda puzzling me to be honest. 

If Limper died due to his condition, One would expect Skorro to be aware of his death. So there wouldn't be a reason for contact calling now.
That only makes sense if he died suddenly without Skorro knowing. But that doesn't explains why he has been missing for weeks now. 

So Skorro and Limper were either much closer and Lions spend far more time mourning their death than we thought. 
Alternatively, the coalition was much looser than we thought and Skorro only now noticed Limper is missing. 

Or most likely the contact calling is entirely unrelated. 


Regardless. A lion in his condition is unlikely to go on big adventures on his own. So him not being seen for that long most likely means he is death. Otherwise he would have shown up by now at the Othawas or Ximhungwes which he also frequented. Though the latter may be the reason why we no longer see him anymore.

There's a much simpler explanation, he's contact calling the pride..

Limper has been found!

He’s apparently the ‘third’ lion referenced by Tendai at this sighting of the Talamati brothers



Here Tendai shows them in his insta story which will expire soon so I’ve downloaded and attached

That's a good way to fight to survive, if the talamati boys allowed him to feed seems like a better way out than fighting for space with skorro jr and othawas at the dinner table maybe he would have met the same fate as Scar, happy to be alive . Incredibly escaped death with Nhenha and Nkuhuma and now surprising again what a story.
