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.

“We had an early morning surprise when we found a herd of buffalo, and suddenly a lion emerged from the tall grass. With one almost silent call, more lions appeared. As we were trying to count them, more lions kept showing up. This was a real treat for us, as we don't often get to see the very large Kambula Pride, which consists of lions of all ages.
These big prides often follow herds of buffalo for long distances, sometimes for days, waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack. It's risky for the lions to follow these herds because they often turn back and defend themselves. However, the reward for the lions is big – a large meal to sustain this large pride of lions.

This cub has the unique distinction to have 4 siblings in the Ntsevu pride.
This is one of K2’s cubs from her first litter with Ndzengas that somehow got separated from her and became adopted by his Kambula cousins.
Now, he has 4 new brothers and sisters in the Ntsevu pride living separate lives
It is strange, because you can’t say he is from another pride. Hopefully if he can stay with his brothers and cousins from this pride the Kambula pride and stay together and healthy you can’t say he isn’t related to the Kambula lions and they are not brothers and cousins. He is probably cousins to most, but wouldn’t most of the younger cubs could be his half brothers? The older lioness is still his aunt and even some of the older cubs would be his brothers.
It’s confusing lol but I was told the most aggressive and leader of the kambula pride is k9 and k9 is the daughter of k2 and that young male is k2 son so in a way she’s looking after her mothers son lol but honestly I think they older females got pushed out and the cub was left behind by accident I think but idk how she could just leave him

If I recall the story correctly as said in a blog from MM, the two groups had met at a kill and in the commotion for dominance the Ntsevu females left but the cubs were left w the Kambula females.
