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.

Yes, seems like they chased out Styx Male again.
Hopefully Kambula male lions do not like Kambula lioness how Styxt young male lion did.
Maybe good for Styxt male lion to go on his own. Maybe see another male lion.
I know is happen before and they just found each-other.
I wonder who Styxt male lion could meet ? Are the in Kruger or southern Sabi sand?
I would say it would be good if met with young Nukhuma male lion. Wonder if he could join the young monwana male lion hopefully I am spelling that correctly. Styxt young male lion looks older, but Styxt young male lion and Monwana male lion are around same age?
I wonder if the Kambulas (in this case K5) would recognize her as their sister. Probably recognize in general, yes, but would they also be interested in mating with her, would they see her as a potential sexual partner? (I hope not.) They haven't been with her for 9+ months or something iirc.

Males don't care if lionesses are related to them, even if they're still living in the same pride. Any lioness over a certain age is a potential mate.

Yes, brothers and sisters do mate.
Even when he was with them, they where checking her for mating, prob reason why she left them as they where too "pushy" with her.
Amber 2 still mating with the Kruger Male, and the Youngest Monwana Boy is seen this morning SafariLIVE by WildEarth with 4 Nkuhuma females. You can really differentiate on who the Monwana Boy is compared to Nkuhuma Boy, as the Monwana Boy have a unique set of eyes and its color, hoping he stays safe as the other day his sighting is he was alone and is near to where the 2 Mantimahle Sons where also sighted. Also this is the best time for the Nkuhuma Boy and Nkuhuma BA Boy to form up a coalition when there are many young males near the to partner up with (Styx Male, Red Road Son, 4 Monwana Boys, Mbiri Boy, and even maybe Nzuri)

Is it just me, or does anyone else think the Kruger male looks similar to the Mantimahle males?

There's barely, if at all, 2 months since they last met.
They met a few times after the split. Few months ago they chased Styx off but socialized with the sister in MalaMala.
A month or two ago they chased Styx and the sister off a carcass, also in MalaMala. I think K12 overreacted running too, as I don't think they'd have minded her around, as we see here again when Styx is chased but she is still with her brother.
And that's only counting meetings we got to know about. But yeah they definitely recognize each other as fellow pride mates/siblings. There's still a bond left.
