Founded by Joshua C. Templin in June 1995, the storyline (originally based on his fan fiction The Tales of Tanabi) has shifted a number of times, with more than one reset of the Feature Characters.

The MUCK has a rather high population of lions, including three official Kings and Prides. Leopards and panthers are common, as are cheetahs, hyenas, and other African species.

Notable controversies have revolved around guest characters, the number of Adult Male Lions, healers, interspecies mating, and TinySex. Several spinoffs have resulted, including Endless Round, Otherlands and Romance in the Savannah. (more...)
