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.

The skybed son and the Kruger male had a staredown but nothing happened

So looks like Skybed son is now dominant in Mluwati Concession (altrough still no pride) in area which was vacant by Imbali male.

It seems that both those loners have their claims to this arena.

Ncila was snared. He's doing better now 



"MALE LION NCILA FOUND IN A SNARE!
Out of the three mighty Tintswalo Male lions, we hadn’t seen Ncila for over a week. We had only seen Mandevu and Lambile. We were not sure if Ncila was possibly mating with females in the north or east of the reserve, as the Tintswalo Males continue to expand their territory and grow in confidence.

Last week, some of our rangers were at Lomfane Pan and saw a male lion coming to drink. When the male approached the pan, the rangers recognized he had snare through his mouth. It was Ncila. He was able to drink water, but looked in very bad condition, and had obviously been caught in the snare for well over 4-5 days as we had not seen any sign of him.

I was with guests when the rangers radioed me, and I was quite far in the south — but I said to my guests that we needed to go and make sure we kept visual of Ncila while the vets and parks board were on their way. At that time, Mrisho was in another vehicle following him through some very thick bush. We both managed to keep visual for a while until he decided to head through a camp where we could no longer follow him. The vet and Parks Board arrived just as we lost him in the camp. We tried to relocate him for well over 3 hours — but weren’t able to find him. It started to rain, which made our search even harder. We abandoned the search as the rain got harder and harder. This was a very difficult decision for us as we knew that Ncila desperately needed our help.
It rained and rained for three days. We had over 100mm of rain in reserve, and certain areas were not passable -- especially where the Mbiri Pride had moved in the north, there was a lot of cotton soil which is not drivable in the wet. We were hoping that Ncile had joined the Mbiri Pride. Maybe they were looking out for him!?

All we could do was wait for the rain to stop and roads to dry -- and then we could finally get into the area to assess his condition. On the 20th, the rain finally stopped and roads were starting to dry and guides managed to get into the areas around Kokomoya Dam. The Mbiri Pride was there with all three Tintswalo Males. Ncila looked like he was in pain and was lying away from the pride.
We quickly called in the vet, and he soon managed to dart Ncila and remove the snare from his mouth, after which he was given antibiotics and the wound was cleaned. Once everything was done, the vet woke Ncila and we watched as he got up and moved back towards the dam where the pride was waiting.

Two days later, we found Ncila recovering with the other Tintswalo Males and the rest of the pride. We will continue to follow his progress and keep you all updated, so please follow our Virtual Safaris as we track his recovery. If it wasn’t for the great work of the rangers, Parks Board and vets, we are sure Ncila wouldn’t be alive today."

What with all these snares in Manyeleti??

In the past 2 years, Lambile, RRM and now Nchile..

Props for reserve to save them, but how they have so many snares in their reserve..

Hope Nchile will be ok..

Strange, maybe its January 2021. I think he would be seen with his brother if he is alive.

Yep.  That’s three lions in 2 years there.   This makes me wonder if the 4th/missing Tintswalo met his fate in the same way but wasn’t as lucky to be found in time.
