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.

From Londolozi Game Reserve, The Week in Pictures #276 by Amy Attenborough:
"The young males from the Tsalala breakaway pride have been seen more and more frequently. It will be interesting to follow the progress of these three as they mature into fully grown adults. Photograph by James Souchon"

MALAMALA TODAY: March 24th. 3 lion sightings: 5 of the 6 breakaway lionesses and 1 Matshapiri male were viewed south of Rattray's Camp. The 6th lionesses and the other Matshapiri male were mating on our airstrip. The Eyrefield pride continue to spend most of their time in the south- we found them in south western Charleston.

Apparently, the lioness killed was one of the Sparta/Eyrefield pride and the killers are the girls of the Mangheni breakaway pride.

Report From brendcoley Mala-Mala

'Incredibly sad to have learnt about the passing of this beautiful lioness in the foreground.... she was attacked by a pride of 6 young lionesses looking to stake their claim on her prides territory. Such is the way of the African bush. Eternally grateful for the many hours of pure joy this lioness brought me. Hoping that the rest of the Eyrefield Pride can recover from this.' #malamalagamereserve

Two Tsalala females go on the attack to defend their cubs against 3 young males watching them in the bush - while the cubs scattered. The males are actually their previous litter, now nomadic. Extremely tense encounter!

Tsalala Male.

One of the three Tsalala young males, and the more adventurous of the brothers from what I witnessed. I first saw these lions when they were 4 months old, and several times since, and they are turning into magnificent lions now. This guy is looking very like the Majingilane male who more than likely sired him.

Not a good picture, but 16 lions all sleeping together cannot be ignored! 4 adult females, 9 young males and 3 young females make up the Mhangani pride.
