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.

When you think they're heading in a certain direction, they do something surprising.

What has happened to the Kambula male lions that is surprising?

It looked as though they were finally ready to stake a claim for dominance in Manyeleti but for whatever reason they’ve moved back down to Singita. The fact they are tolerating Southern Avoca Male isn’t actually that surprising as we’ve seen it before especially when the other lion isn’t a threat, acting submissive and food is involved. 

The only times recently I’ve seen Kambulas act aggressive around a carcass was with the BDM and the young Hamiltons and Torchwood males.

Aren’t the Kambula male lions familiar with Southern male lion? They have eaten together before?

they did once but i dont see how would be much relevant. 
They tolerate and show no aggression towards him bc he doesnt display any signs of being a threat.

Yes but couldn’t it be the other way around? The Southern Avoca male lion is an experience male lion? The Kambula male lions are now with lioness I wonder if they would get more aggressive. Their sister was with the young Styxt male lion what a beautiful male lion he had become. I wonder what made them meet eachother and come together. They have a similar story. The Styxt male lion was with his sisters and the Kambula lionesses was with his brothers and cousins and now they are with eachother.

indeed Styx has been turning into a good looking young male. 
Also yes, they have quite a similar story! Hopefully they start mating soon, would be great if they formed a small pride. Honestly would be better if Styx had a partner and K12 too, but well, lets see how things turn out to be.

Yes I meant the Kambula male lions probably know the Southern Avoca male is an experienced male lion. The Southern Avoca male lion maybe alone, but I do not think the Kambula male lions would want to fight him; the Southern Avoca male lion looked stringer and bigger and wernt some of the Kambula male lions still injured?

Yes it would be interesting to see them together. I would love them to see them together but yes they have no partners. They would have eachother and I would love to see them together.

That clip of K5, K4 and Red Road still makes me sad for K5. Poor boy. He's a tough one that's for sure.
