Guys, would y'all prefer to post about the Kambula (both coalitions, K1 & K2 | K3, K4, K5, K6 & sister) in the appropriate topic, Birmingham Coalition Male Lineage or continue with the mess of sometimes posting in the Lions of Sabi Sands?

Me myself am confused in where to post and have already uploaded in both. Just want to know what would be more apropriate.

Nice pics bro. It looks like he had skirmish due to some scratches in his front legs.

My friend, I believe what is causing an issue is that this thread is the "Male Lineage" thread, and the four boys are often seen with their sister, who is technically still a Kambula lioness. We don't often see such things happening, but at times it can be difficult to create threads that can thoroughly encompass all scenarios. So, while I am not sure anyone would push back much if we just posted anything containing the boys in this thread, even if they contained images with their sister, and certainly when photos are released only showing them then this is surely the right place. But, I do believe this is where the confusion is coming from.

Let's hope that his brothers become confident and bold like him soon, so that they stop being a promising coalition and become an imposing and dominant force to be reckoned with

Kambula Coalition in Sabi Sabi
"For several days, the Kambula Breakaways have been trailing a big herd of buffalo from the north of our reserve, to the south and all the way back to the north with numerous failed attempts. 
These lions have become extremely efficient buffalo hunters and have mastered the art of trailing buffalo. It's just a matter of time until they bring down the next large meal."

Is their sister still with them? I love how they accept and take care of her and that she’s fiesty enough to live with 4 males. I know there’s down sides to her staying but she’s a lot safer with them. I’d love to see her eventually get accepted by a pride or another lone lioness.

The Kambula males got intense with one another when one Nkuhuma female decided to join in on the buffalo carcass they were feeding on.

I hope Khanya understands what is happening, and leaves that area.

While never wishing for conflict of any kind, a foolish desire I am aware, but I do indeed hope it is the BDMs, since they seem to have vanished.
