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.

That's wonderful to see that pride doing very well under RRM's protection as a lone male. Those cubs seems to be doing well. Shame it can't been said the same for Othawa Male, who kept on venturing into Birmingham's territory when he was supposed to be at home with his pride, his territory. Now it's not certain yet what's going to happen with his 7 innocent cubs. Just hope for the best for them.

Imbali update

LIONS OF THE MLUWATI CONCESSION:


The Imbali Pride:
The entire pride was found on a number of occasions near Imbali Safari Lodge—from behind our staff village to Predator Plains. The younger cubs are definitely growing up quickly. The dominant male has been scent marking and checking territory often these days.


The Hamiltons Pride:
The females are still split up into smaller groups consisting of 2 – 4 females and offspring in each. Two of the females have cubs with them, and our guests have been having some incredible sightings of the little furballs on the S125 Loop South low-level bridge near Hamiltons Tented Camp

So Imbali/S8 male still dominant of Imbali pride (18 members if i remember), but he definitely is trying his luck in northern Sabi Sands, quite similar to what OM was doing, hope he doesnt have the same fate..

He's a really big specimen, doubtedly he can hold a 2v1, so, he need be smart with his movements.

Great photo of Nharu pride in August 2016 with 10 cubs :

Its quite remarkable that 9 out of this 10 cubs reached adulthood (2 males disappeared in nomadic life, so 7 now alive) as when Sizanani died, Skorro soon after abandoned them under pressure and 3 females have to protect them vs N. Avocas, Avoca/Giraffes, Orpens, RRM over the years.. 



Hope they will have same success with remaining RRM's cubs..

Unfortunately no, it looks like he is gone..

Such a shame, lately as he grown he was actually looking to be biggest of the 4..

Without a doubt, it was the most promising of the 4. Very sad that he left. I don't know why but that particular lion from the guys from tintswalo seemed attractive to me in a special way, his appearance and his face seemed very powerful to me.
