Aren't the Gijimas being seen with the Talamati girls lately?  That should be Londolozi or close, or meaning the Gijimas are crossing Londo right?

The Talamatis seem split. Three down south in Umkumbe/ Sabi Sabi región. And a single lioness in londolozi

Anyone seen anything else about this? I'm asking on a count of reading a as of yet confirmed report of it possibly being 10 members of the Nkuhuma Pride that were being chased, not a Talamati lioness. Seems odd (to me at least) that they (NK's) would be that far into the western sector. Like I said, nothing is confirmed, just thought I'd inquire about it is all.

Yeah. Diff made a post saying it was 9 females and one big male. That description wouldn’t fit Talamatis. Nkuhumas are like te maybe Mohawk or even the oldest YM

Interesting things happening in western Sabi Sands as always. Lion dynamics as unpredictable as ever.

It looks like Plainscamp are little more tolerant to the presence of the Tumbela male compared to the rest of lions. 

At one point yesterday night, Plainscamp males lying 50m above the Ximhungwe Pride and Tumbela male lying 30 m below them. He only made a hasty retreat once the Plainscamp males began to get active. They didn't necessarily chase him. If the Plainscamp males had real intent to chase Tumbela they would have done immediately after finding Ximhungwe and Tumbela together.

It is rare or impossible to see dominant males allowing other males staying this close to one of their favourite pride without issues.

The original post reads as follows,

Rock and a hard place...

The watched the shimungwe lionesses roaring away on a clearing last night, the 2 Plains camp males lying 50m above them and the Tumbela male lying 30m below them, we assume they all knew of each other's presence. Once the plains camp males started getting active the Tumbela made a hasty escape.

Tumbelas condition on last sightings was not great, maybe PC males feel he is no threat anymore.

Lions feel this thing, just like how Nhenha and NK didnt kill Limper.

I dont think Skorros condition is bad enough to be ignored by them. Or he must have one of those type of illnesses that only cats can notice properly and not humans. 

Most likely Skorro is getting arrogant or made a huge mistake and got really lucky that day the PCmales werent feeling alert or agressive that day.

Yes. He is not healthy. But he also doesn't look like he is about to keel over.
He still would be competition if it comes to mating etc or pose a risk to potential cubs.
