Lions of Timbavati

[T I N O]

Newcomers in central region of Timbavati - Introducing the two Skorro males in all his glory. At the beginning of August the Skorro males made a brief visit to the central parts of Timbavati, and after an altercation with the dominant males of the area, which resulted with the death of the healthy Nharhu male and the disappearance of the limping Nharhu male. With the competition already eliminated, the Skorro males are trying to took-over pride after pride. Last night on a decisive move, the skorro males intercepted the River pride and made contact. The eerie-nights silence was shattered by the growls and roars of the three females as they fought to protect the cubs and the Nharhu males legacy. After an intense couple of minutes, the night fell back into its dark abyss and only morning would bring the knowledge as to what extent this clash would have on the future of our pride. There is a confirmation that one of the remaining females has been severely injured ("Fatally?,,) too soon to tell). Whilst the other two females  managed to escape unscathed, are fleeing north with their cubs who miraculously survived what undoubtedly would’ve been the longest night of their lives. As the River pride seek asylum in territories beyond their pride boundaries, the future of our beloved Lions hangs in the balance... Today, the non-skittish Skorro males was found mating with one of the Mayambula females, A pride that a couple of weeks ago was mating with the Nharhu males. Only time will tell if the Skorro males will stick in the area and will left offspring behond in the current lion prides...
