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.

Update from Sabi Sabi: Two Gijima males with the Southern female following buffalo herd. Mhangeni pride is also very close to the Gijima males being as close as 500m. Then Southern pride lioness moved away from the males to her two daughters which are also close to Mhangenipride.
Tracks for the Mhangeni Pride were seen not too far from the Gijima males, with the pride also showing interest in the large of herd of buffalo moving through the reserve. The pride was eventually found sleeping and once the sun set, started getting active again and on the trail of the buffalo. An interaction between the Mhangeni Pride and Gijima males is looking imminent with the pride only about 500m from the males. The Southern Pride female had eventually moved off and joined up with her two daughters who were also not far from the Mhangeni Pride. Interesting times lay ahead should the Mhangeni Pride choose to stick around for an extended period.
The 2 young Southern Pride lionesses were close to a herd of buffalo - alert to every movement near & far.We have been seeing them alone a lot more of late.They would normally be with mom but with the presence of the Gijima males, they don't seem to be comfortable around them yet.

I wouldn’t expect it until such time the mother becomes fully occupied w the Gijimas. Thus far, the mother has done a great job of working both sides :)

Definitely, until the mother sired another litter ( either with gijimas Or any other coalition), these young girls will be her priority
