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.

So, all 4 Kambula Boys are from the K4 and K5.  Interesting, and the older two are from K1 and K3.  So, K2 is the only one that didn't leave any male offspring from the B'hams.  K6 is infertile, of course.  Lots of potential for K4's bloodline if her 3 boys score big in the future.

Which one of the older Kambulas allegedly had 5 males in a litter and that died?  K1 or K4 (the one who has 3 sons with the B'hams already?)

I guess the one sister with the brothers is K12, littermate to K6....

Why we made this thread when "Birmingham coalition male lineage" thread is basically only about these Kambulas, 1 NK and 1 Torchwood male, from which we have almost no updates?

So with this thread, that thread is left basically only for 1 NK male..

I am not against making new threads, but we basically already have thread for these guys, and this is overlaping.

For me that thread works for us to keep track of the, well, Bboys male offspring during their nomadhood.

But once these nomadic males become dominant they are now their own thing, not the Bboys sons anymore, but the Kambula males, and since they are establishing themselves in SS and have huge influence, they deserve a thread just like Gijimas or PCM, even more because they are 4.

They are not yet territorial, and might not even become in Sabi Sands.

Until we see their destiny, I think that thread is more then enough to post what they are doing.

I mean, we can have it, but then that thread is basically dead.

I would prefer to see them established first before having a thread, personally speaking.  We don't know if they'll all succeed together in the end, hopefully they will.  Two of them recently got caught and almost paid a very heavy price with their lives.  Nomadic life is perilous.  These boys are not even 6 yet, and already they are being chased and getting into trouble.  K6 won't turn 5 until May.  These 4 boys could create a lot of havoc and mayhem in the next 1-2 years for the upcoming male cubs all around them being raised by the dominant males....unless they up and leave into Kruger....then we will rarely, if ever, get updates.

@Tr1x24 the other thread can be resurrected 5 years from now to follow the Kambula's sons.

Other threads are dead for good, at least that other one will likely have a future.
