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.

Very similar situation as Othawas were in. Hopefully things end up better for the Talamatis.

Was S8 present again? I wonder what keeps pushing the Talamatis so far south.

Ik majority of the Talamati breakaway females died but out of all the lionesses who joined S8 were they daughters of the N.Avocas or the older Talamati females. Was just thinking that everyone was making a lot of S8 ‘stealing’ some lionesses from DM at the time but if a few of them were his daughters he had actually done him a favour imo, helping further the bloodline and providing stability.

No 2 Selati daughters and 1 matimba daughter went to join S8 the older silver eye and her sister stayed with the 4 Avoca daughters darkmane and his 2 sons. His 4 daughters are with the gijima males and nkuhuma Male sometimes

That lioness is doing an incredible job at rebuilding the pride. From 1 to 6 in a relatively short stretch of time, basically 3 years.

So close, yet so far... The Sand River pride made an attempt on two adult buffalo bulls in the Sabie River. Fortunately for the buffalos, they managed to get away. Amazing interaction with two of the Big 5.⁠

Oh! This could get interesting!  I suppose the Delaporte Male decided to remain at a distance after his attack....maybe spooked him into realize that staying away from the young males seems to be the better choice at keeping him safe these days.  I think it's his choice, since we see him off and on with one or two of the males, but not again with so many of the coalition.  The 5 strongest seem to be testing the waters in Sabi Sands now.  Let's see what happens.  If they decide to stay, they will undoubtedly try to take out the physically weakest duo left....or what they judge to be the weakest.  The Kambulas or Mangheni make the most sense for FIVE males, not the Sand River Pride or the smaller Southern Pride.  The Styx Lionesses are still too young and won't be ready to breed for at least another year.  Maybe up north to the Nkhumas or Talamati? How many breeding age females are there left in those prides?
