RE: Lions of Timbavati - Potato - 11-07-2021
The Giraffe pride came through camp last night amidst all the lightning and thunder to kill not one but two giraffes

. This male is after all the highly nutritious internal organs!!

The face of the male is not visible so it is hard to tell for sure, but it is probably Hercules male.

•
The Avocas seem to have occupied a large part of the Blackdam Pride’s former territory, and sightings of them have become commonplace on southern Thornybush.
•
They have also been paying a lot of attention to the large elephant herds that frequent our reserve during this time, and even managed to bring down a sub-adult calf a few nights ago.
•
This unusual behaviour is only observed within a handful of lion populations throughout Africa.

They are hunting down elephants? They must be really good hunteresses. Hope they find dominant male soon. Lot of nomadic coalitions in the area.

Wait, Avocas in southern Thornybush??

Their presence in southern Thornybush is nothink new. Like a month ago I was posting here update that they are taking over former BD pride territory.

Great news
Recent sighting of the Guernsey young male (Son of Hoedspruit males)
He crossed Kapama's boundary to ThornyBush. He's been missing for 5/6 months. It's great to see him alive!

So it is not a third Black Dam male in the end. Those are indeed great news as new bloodline will improve genetic diversity, of course if the young male will manage to reproduce.
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Tr1x24 - 11-08-2021
How did he managed to move from Kapama to Thornybush thru fences??
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Brahim - 11-08-2021
@Tr1x24 Not sure, we tagged our friend guide at Kapama yesterday, he seemed happy this guy was found as him and other guides have been wondering for 6 months where he went, not sure yet if they will try get him back or not. But he just said he got through, so must be some spots that aren’t secure or something. Ebenezer is a senior guide at Kapama
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Potato - 11-08-2021
One of the Ross males waking up from a snooze. Notice the lack of canines - definitely not a young lion anymore but still holding on to a rather large territory with his brother.

Hi DA. Welcome to WildFact forum. Hope you enjoy much as we do. If you ever has a question, don't doubt in ask me. The Timbavati males were born into the Jacaranda pride in 2003/4. These males were dominant in the Northern parts of Timbavati. But they also were dominant in Ingwelala/Umbabat and Ntsiri. These cubs, in fact, are from the Machaton pride and were sired by the Timbavati males.

It's unknown who sired to the Vuyela males.
