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.

Oh, shame for that boy.. How many Kudyela young males there is?
There's supposed to be six, but I've only seen five on the cams. Some of them are younger though and look like females from a distance, so potentially there's still five of them alive now.

I dont know much about these boys, who are their fathers and are they territorial?

Their fathers are the machaton males. I think they are still in the "Run away from male lions" stage, but they "occupy" a corner of their fathers former territory that the Masungulo males haven't really ventured into yet. I think their recent vocalising led to the masungulo males coming in and this happening.
Not sure if it’s appropriate but thought I’d share that Aruna Pavithran, a moderator and sensational contributor to the Timbavati FB Group has reportedly passed away. I’ve lost count on the amount of lion history I’ve learned from her posts in that group. Very saddened at her loss. May she RIP.
