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.

Tumbela seen in the north, bordering Londolozi? Imagine if he finally gives up the west and met Nkuhuma in northern Londolozi? There might still be time for him to try and join this new coalition, especially with Skorto still in the far north away from NK.

Although I'm not sure a coalition of 3 in that place would be good for the local population.

Would be nice for all parties but would he accept being the least dominant member cos that limp seems permanent atp.

He already had that when he dominated NK multiple times. Limper Kruger was said at the time be more dominant than Freddy and his limp was worse than Tumbela's. He also had no issues in territorial clashes, Skorokoro Nharhu was/is the same...

As long as the limp in one of the hindlimbs is the only issue a lion has, if he is healthy otherwise, it might not affect their status.

True but that was when Nkuhuma Male seemingly wanted to pursue the relationship, now he already has Skorro Orpen and he might be less likely to back down.

Limper had a limp but it wasn't an active injury, he was still pretty robust and able to move freely. Tumbelas injury seems more severe like it gets worse some times and a little better at other times. Limper was more like BYM after he had healed but a slightly bigger limp.

@sik94 Limper was the same thing, sometimes it was better, sometimes worse. Sometimes he couldn't even support his paw at all. Most of the time his limp was worse than Tumbela's.

He was robust, yes, but he was just naturally bulkier and a bigger lion, plus he was a dominant male with a huge pride to feed him.

Come across this photo, isn’t this one of the Kambula males or one of the Nkuhuma twins. I know one of the Kambulas has been rocking a mohawk for a while but as the location isn’t included it could be a different lion. Judging by the road I’d guess it’s KNP.

Only Ridge Nose son and one of the twins are confirmed to be in KNP, even if the above male is the other twin, Chela’s boy hasn’t been spotted. Although I do agree it’s most likely all Nkuhuma boys are in KNP.

BDM in Singita, apparently, though I think it is around the border with Londolozi.

It looks more like an airstrip to me.
