Yea, pretty impressive for a loner what he achived in 2 yrs, no larger coalition near by also helps, but luck is big part of nature, sired so many subs in Imbali pride, which look on good track for making adulthood in big pride like that.
Dont know situation in Einstein (Imbali breakaway) pride, but as we seen in recent months he is activly seeking new mating opportunities and prob expansion..
I expect to see him less and less with Imbali pride at this point, even from reports and sightings he is not that often with them anymore.
Interested to see what future holds for him, especially if he links permanently with that young male who was seen hanging with him.

Red Road had a snare removed from around his neck
RE: Lions of Manyeleti - Tonpa - 07-21-2021
Lionesses in Manyeleti (not sure which pride) receiving contraceptive implants. The reserve is currently beyond it's lion carrying capacity.

If a lion can get snared in Manyeleti, now we can only imagine what is happening in Kruger, no suprise that so many lions just disappear..

Dont understand this, Manyeleti is open to Kruger,SS, Timbavati, if the lion population get too dense, they will move out and spread naturally..
I assume these where females from Mbiri pride most likely (Nharus are not in estrus) i just dont get the idea how would this help to slow down lion population, by blocking 2 females to dont have cubs for half a year to an year..
They have policy to not intervene or help injured/sick lions, unless its caused by humans, but they intervene to reduce natural growing lion population?? This makes no sense..
They are prob concerned by massive Imbali pride moving in lately.
If somebody has more info about this pls share.

"Rachel Carson once said “Conservation is a cause that has no end. There is no point at which we will say our work is finished” • This is a rather fitting quote as conservation never sleeps, there’s always work to be done • In this instance I was fortunate enough to be able to witness the removal of a snare that had tightened itself around this males neck • The Red Road male had been spotted with a damaging and nasty snare around its neck • @the_conservation_vet gave this boy a chance to walk around without an unwanted piece of wire cutting into his neck • Snaring is an indiscriminate practice as it can affect an animal like an elephant all the way down to a small animal like a duiker • A practice that will be fought hard to stop and with more man power on the ground we can make an impact • It’s forever a humbling experience being able to sit next to a sleeping apex predator like this knowing that his paw is bigger than my hand is truly an awe inspiring moment • This is why I love what I do and will continue to do what I do!"

It's the first time that I heard an reserve is stopping the lion population growth. That doesn't make any kind of sense...
RE: Lions of Manyeleti - Brahim - 07-21-2021
It would be good to see that Young male with Imbali. Wondering if it’s that one eyed Young Male who was trying to protect that pride when those two Skybed jrs came and gave him a beating, then they were all chased by Imbali

It makes sense im closed reserves, but in opens idk..
RE: Lions of Manyeleti - Hairy tummy - 07-21-2021
Poor red road, really does make my blood boil!!
As what was said the other day, that area around where the hrm and 3 tooth went missing is looking like a poaching hot spot, a few lions have just simply vanished there
RE: Lions of Manyeleti - Duco Ndona - 07-21-2021
First time I heard if it aswell.
But I guess its good news that they have recovered enough that such actions are needed.
Having less lions roaming around will also help the leopard or Cheetah populationg get a break.

I'm just as lost as you. These interventions indeed do happen in smaller, isolated reserves where natural dispersal is not an option but this is the first time I've heard of such operations being carried out in an expanse as vast as the Greater Kruger National Park
