They are not going after Ndhzengas, this happened in norther MalaMala , which is not exactly Ndhzengas, yet their border.

BDM's are currently hanging in space between Ndhzengas and northern Sabi Sands (northern MalaMala and southern reaches of northern SS) where they are taking over some chunk of Mohawk's territory, as he is unable to push them out.

They where even seen with NK Chela.

They are prob stil testing waters how much land they can take in all directions, but s8 and now Ndhzengas 2nd time chased them on those attempts.

When new coalition comes into neighbourhood, encounters like this always happen.

Thats the way how 2 new coalitions to each others, establish boundaries in between themselves.

Kind of what I figured.  All bad for Mohawk at this point.  Sad

I'm still curious about all the bachelor groupings near Skukuza.  Seems like a staging zone all of the sudden.

Most probably it would be opposite

Late Ubusu.
When was in good condition.



RE: N'waswitshaka males - DARK MANE - 03-20-2023

3 nwaswitshaka males chasing 2 BDMs away.

Theyre looking good. Gore still seems fine despite his protrusion getting bigger

Yeah it's great to see that he's not another Lambile and is joining his brothers in territorial disputes. Strengthens their position as pride males. And he's clearly strong enough to tussle with his two healthier brothers for food. A very resilient lion for sure, and probably one we underestimate.

Really hard to say what's going on with his protrusion. I'm generally against rangers and guides administering health care, but part of me wishes they would make an exception with Gore. If it is 'proud flesh', as has been suggested, then that can only be healed with surgery, and not naturally. And he's such a healthy lion otherwise. But it might just be because it's not pleasant to look at.

He is altogether a "healthy lion".
No doubt about that.
He has accepted that hanging flesh as his vital body part like jaws, paws, tail and legs long go.
Good to see him thriving

Ndhzenhas with tons of cubs.

TROUBLE NO LONGER ON THE HORIZON.   TROUBLE IS HERE!

ITS GOING TO BE AN INTERESTING NEXT FEW DAYS.

Accompanying video of the report above.    I can’t be 100% but I believe it’s Amahle.

I hope his brothers arrive quickly, and send those boys looking elsewhere, too many cubs involved. Hopefully not another Ubuso/Gijimas situation. Two things really surprise me here, one that they left a lone male (Mohawk) to go and challenge 3 males, and the second thing that I find a bit puzzling is that just a couple of days after having chased these boys off, the N'was would split up so soon.

This will be heartbreaking.  That's a LOT of cubs to be at risk here.


RE: N'waswitshaka males - Mapokser - 03-25-2023

Damn, prob caught by Gijimas? Or was it BDM? North or south? I hope he isn't seriously injured, the cubs have been born they can't afford to be down to 2 males.

Still it's probably good news he's roaring, it may mean he is fine. And we talk about their size ( I myself have talked about them being small ), but here he took on 2 males and is still roaring. Size probably doesn't mean that much indeed, these Ndhzengas have it in them to defend their territory.
