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.

With the lionesses from the Hamiltons lion pride out hunting the two N'waswitsontso were left on duty to look after the lion cubs. The darker maned male called out and we were surprised as he was greeted by a bunch of lion cubs. After spending some time with them we decided to move on and about a kilometer up the road, we found that the lighter maned male lion was making his way to his brother and lion cubs. They eventually joined up and greeted each other by rubbing heads, the lion cubs excited to see dad, came over to greet him as well. The two N'waswitsontso Male lions did not seem as excited to be looking after the lion cubs as they tried to keep moving away from them. The two brothers then proceeded to show each other some affection by rubbing heads and grooming each other.

Two new males have been roaring from Kruger to the east of the Manyeleti, prompting the big Imbali Male to send his own message back!

Perhaps the Imbali Male will have something else to focus on now, and Dark Mane and the Talamatis can get a much needed reprieve.

Imbali update

The Hamiltons Pride:
The Hamiltons Pride has been looking very well. One female was found mating with Madala and another female was seen mating with Blondie. The youngsters are all doing well, including the older cub who had lost one eye. The movement of this pride varies quite a lot at the moment, perhaps due to the fluctuating lion dynamics in the area, but they are currently spending a lot of time just outside of the Concession on the Southern Cutline. It will be interesting to see how the dynamics will continue to change as we expect that the two mated females will disappear again in the next month.
The Imbali Pride:
The Imbali Pride has been spotted several times over the last few months. Although they are not venturing as much into the Concession as they used to, they are often found close to Predator Plains and Sheroberombe. All of the members are looking very healthy including one of the younger cubs who is missing the black time on the end of the tail.
Visitors to the Concession:  
Although Einstein has not returned to the Concession, we have been seeing movement of other nomadic males, including one of the sons of the Skybed Males who was found walking across the open plains close to Hoyo Hoyo in the direction of Ridge Road. Another visitor was the Torchwood Male who stole a kill from the Imbali Pride females.

Some images of S8/Imbali Male from late December.  Showing some nasty scarring 

Anyone know how these were sustained?

No sign of the cub yet. Great to see these Orpen cubs are doing well and eating, though.

I guess it's possible that he had an altercation with two new males from Kruger AFTER he was seen roaring to send his own message back on 6th January.

But he didn't have any visible scars at the time of his sending his own message back??
