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.

Yes, it's very nice to see his condition has improved, although we haven't seen a footage of him walking yet since we saw him limping. We only see him sitting down. Let's hope we will see a new footage of him stand up and walking soon, though.
He never had a full mane like Skorro jr has, but at least his health is improving and, like you've said, his mane will fill up again.

It may already be fully grown for him.
The limp aside, its not like he was that bad off in the last few months.

I wonder though if the limp indirectly caused the demise of the Ximhungwe cub. The three lions went along pretty well before it started. 
Perhaps if he was there he could have protected her. Or maybe the cub followed him to the Othawas when he went back to recover.

I've thought the same thing, I'm really worried about the cub. I feel really sad about it. You know, Limper hasn't been seen with the adult female again since the tree incident over 3 weeks' ago. I feel really bad for her, being all alone.

He limped even with Ximhungwes, its a permanent limp, sometimes better, sometimes worse.

I am aware. I was referring more to the resurgence of the limp. Just before that he was climbing trees without much issue.

Maybe there he reinjured it, he was quite far up, jumping down from that hight definitely took its tool on that leg..

Limper’s mane is definitely growing! I havent seen him mating with Ximungwe lioness for a while, any updates? Maybe Ximungwe female is searching for her daughter

Not sure how long she'll search for, even she's even still searching at this point, it's been 3+ weeks. 

But she'll be coming back into estrus soon so maybe we'll see them mating again

Chances are she already is pregnant from the encounters with Limper.

I dont blame her for desperatly searching for her cub. She had a rough life. The companion she had from her must have meant the world for her. Though we are still awaiting that mysterious update thats been teased about.

She was never alone before, she had her sister and then cub, must be new for her to be alone, but she is very strong female, i hope she can raise litter in her lifetime, it wont be easy, but she still has time, only around 8 yrs old, females can easily reach 13 yrs of age or more and look very good, unlike males.
