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.
Hercules and Sumatra male were seen this morning with the Giraffe pride feeding of a zebra carcass at RockFig Safari Lodge, the Monwana male was sighted this morning too
What a sighting ? The Mayambula/Vlak pride was seen this morning at Mananga/Abacrombe in the east of Kingscamp. With now eight lionesses, six sub-adul males roughly the 3 years and two cubs this pride is made-up of 16 strong and healthy members. The Mayambula pride used to spend time in Tiwane/Southern regions of Tanda Tula until the local pride of lions known as ,,River pride" forced them further south and into the Kruger, but over the last month recent sighting and updates indicates that they've been in the east of Kings Camp around Mananga/Abacrombe. An fantastic update!

Avocas where controled by Mapoza, but he lately moved with 2 Xikukutsu (Avoca pride sons) into Thornybush for Monwana and BD pride, so i would say they are without dominant male atm..
Western pride is dominated by 2 Skorro males, Matimba sons,althrough apperantly there is conflict between them and 2 Old River pride males.

Myambula pride used to be made of 4 adult females and 10 subs (of which it was said there were 7 males and 3 females. Last time they were spotted in Ngala tho 1 adult female was missing, presumed dead and the another adult was in bad state. Now they were seen with 3 aditional females which are not part of the pride and there was some tensions between them and Myambulas. It seems anyway (as it seems unlikely that some random females can just join up with a pride permamently) that the true count of Myambula pride is still 3 older females + 10 subs sired by Mbiri males.

Socha and Hosi are currently dominant of the River Pride of Klaserie, Old River pride males are Hondo and Xantsema, they are fathers of 3 (now 2) Nharhu males who control River Pride in Timbavati.
