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.

Two African male lions have killed and eaten most of a buffalo early this morning."
So the tracks belong to the Black Dam males insteed of Imbali male after all?

When S8 was ruling over it, wasn't it a MEGA PRIDE?
I remember somewhere 25-28 members strong pride.
Currently I have heard either 1/2 nwaswitsontso, Hamilton pride male, have extended his territory and takeover the pride.
So all subadults are nomads now.
Anyone know how many M/ F Subadults?
The stage is set for a takeover. The Northern Avoca male coalition is down to just 1. With continued pressure from the Black Dam males it would appear that the writing is on the wall for the incumbent. Will the newcomers lay claim to the north and the prides that come with it? Or, will the fascinating lion dynamics in this area throw up yet another twist? We wouldn’t bet against the latter…

If this is them how far would they be from Sabi Sands?
Wasn't there supposed to be six young males and one older male = seven? What happened to one of the young male?
