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.

I think he is Buddy's son, more similar face features, pale skin and lighter mane like Buddy.

His younger brother who went missing was spitting image of Jr, aswell as current Mbiri young male, when you see him, you can immidiately see Jr. there.

Wouldn't beating up nkuhuma, talamati and bdm increased confidence in these boys??  Also isn't is possible Ottawa male fathered some of them since he was mating kambula ??

It's been said that the Gijimas chased the 3 Kambula males and sister to Londolozi, the PCM might have heard the commotion and went deeper into Londolozi where they chased the Kambulas and caught which seems to be K5.

With K6 not seen for one week despite all of this happening, and with his siblings being all throughout the areas they hangout ( north, Londolozi and south ), it's very worrisome.

Currently 1 male missing and one injured, with them being chased around by 2 different coalitions.

@Tr1x24 Mbiri male is almost a spitting image of Jr but it's hardly a challenge to "confirm" paternity since Buddy was half dead when he was sired.

Similar to the Othawas Matimba, not only the Ximhungwe female is the spitting image of Ginger but HB was in very bad shape at the time with Ginger dominating the mating.

@Friarfan619 OM could have been father to the some of the 2020 litter but they didn't make it.

These Kambulas are 100% Birmingham offspring.

Thanks.  I've always thought to myself at least 1 was his son.  Reality is cruel

I agree, he looks like Buddy, to me more than ever as he gets older too.

I'm leaning more towards Junior, but not 100%. 

It's not unusual for a lion to have multiple sons, but some resemble him more than others.... So, the young Orpen Male for now looks so much like his sire, and he's not even in his prime.

With new reports that Gijimas almost killed (i hope it stays on almost) K6 Kambula and chased 4 and then day or so after 3 Kambulas again, I think more and more that 2 Talamatis had similar encounter with Gijimas down south, in which they stand no chance and DM Talamati, as leader and more confident of the 2, got caught.

Gijimas look particulary agressive towards young males and nomads, they already catched and beaten one of Kambulas last year, already chased 2 Talamati males in the past and showed major hostility towards Styx young male and young females.

They also look to be experts in dealing with coalitions who outnumber them, as we saw vs Ndhzengas, Nkhulus and now Kambulas.

Talamatis where last hanging south in Gijimas territory, next sighting was remaining Talamati alone in Kruger, just south of Gijimas territory near Kruger Gate, other nowhere to be found to this day.

Obiviously this is just a guess what might happen to him, we cant know.
