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.

His mane is looking fantastic. What a comeback story. Wouldn't be surprised if he was the more dominant of the two once more.

Apperantly he is, he was seen a lot with females.

Kinda glad they moved out of Manyeleti, snare problem there is concerning.

Plus they're now dominant over a pride that is not their natal pride, which is also good.

Yes they're away from the snaring, but some males will have to settle there at some point, as there are prides.

The last update on the Kambula males was that they were moving north-east from Djuma towards the Buffelshoek-Kruger boundary. If they do end up settling in the Manyeleti, they would then also be at risk of being snared. Which is concerning.

Does anyone know who's the mother of the Orpen sub-adults? Is she a Matimba daughter, Thanda Impi daughter or what?

Matimba grandfathers on both sides then, not great for gene diversity but luckily lions aren't affected by inbreeding in just a generation.

Regardless he already looks impressive, great mane for his age, he'll be a big boy. His sister might be ready to mate by the end of the year or beginning of the next, hopefully some unrelated males will take over the pride next time, though I hope not until the younger male subs are old enough to join their Orpen cousin.

He is looking good. Against all odds, he is still pretty dominant of the Nharu pride

As capable and successful a solo male, as you're likely to see. What an incredible male lion he is!
