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.

For those doubting, Tristan has posted that the Orpen sub was seen mating with several Mbiri lionesses.
As I said particular that growl only happens during mating, I remember Dr. Craig Packer talking about this and saying that these growls don't happen in fake mating, that the male do that very particular growl only when he is mating for real.

Yeah this pride is going crazy with the inbreeding, even when random males show up to mate, it turns out these males are the Mbiri males who are related to the females on both sides of the families.
At this point they may as well rename them the Targaryen pride lol.
But jokes aside, once the Orpen is ready to go nomadic and the remaining subs grow to independence, I hope some new unrelated males could take over the pride and finally raise a new generation of more genetically diverse cubs.

Since these beautiful animals are basically enclosed in a small piece of land and limiting their movements. Why cant the parks work together and relocate males to get more diversity? I hope these animals get more roaming freedom though

I'm South African and I get that reference. Then again I tend to go down the rabbit hole of social media a lot so there's also that lol.
As for the pride, Manyeleti is part of a ~20 000 square kilometre wilderness area (and that's not counting the Zimbabwe and Mozambique parts of the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park) through which all animals can move freely so in time new males will arrive and take over the Mbiri pride. So no need for intervention
We we travelling between Orpen and Satara in the Kruger National Park and came across this beautiful male lion.He is the Tintswalo male from the Manyeleti Game Reserve and was accompanied by a beautiful lioness.
Latest Tintswalo Virtual Safari. Nharus and Red Road sighted very far north (right outside Tintswalo Lodge). Not sure of the timing but them being so far north probably coincides with Mandevu and Ncile being in Kruger.

They’re there as we speak. Vestment has shown RRM there near Khoka Moya Dam for last three days . The area we normally see Mbiris
