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.

Only time will tell, IMO,They have been venturing into Kruger a few times, So, if they someday expand their territory, That could indicates that they'll expand their territory towards there. Of course. Only the time will proven us that.

They are also venturing east in Kirkmans Kamp a lot. 

They will expand in the direction where they will find a pride for takeover, sadly, there is very few prides around that area, close to them, so if they want new pride, they need significant change in territory, and prob even abandoning current territory. 

I doubt they will go back in Kruger, they came from there, and around Skukuza/Kruger Gate theres almost no prides (same problem as DeLaporte males had in that area) . 

I kinda hope that Kambula breakeaways settle in Southern MalaMala/Nottens area and Nwaswitshakas claim them in close future, those females are 3 yrs old, and soon will be in estrus.

They can just go straight southwest and takeover the former Charleston/Renosterokoppies territory. By the way, I think the Selati sons are also somewhere in that area. I havent seen any updates on them in a while, so it would be great if you share what you have.

Good observation @Mdz123  As far I remember, the Selati sons not were seen since March 2020. Hopefully they're still around, they carried the WSM genes if I not mistaken

They carry the genes of alot of legendary coalitions, includig the Selatis obviously, but also Matimbas as they could have sired their mothers from Talamati pride and possibly Split Rock males and WSM as you mentionned

WSM didnt give birth to Split Rock males. Their reign started after they were born.

After tracking these three male lions all the way from Little Bush Camp down to the Sabie River, we found them finishing up on what looked like a zebra foal that they had caught during the rain the previous night.

They're a very good looking and promising coalition. This is a incredible picture. The two in front looks tough and on a serious mission

Gore is a big boy, he might not be as muscular and bulky as Amahle, but as we see, he is around the same size of him in height and lenght.

They caught a buffalo, heard of buffaloes tried to save their sibling, Gore immidiately backs off while Orange Eyes and Amahle defended the kill :

Interesting to see here how Gore respect's those buffaloes from past experiences, he got badly injured once so he doesnt want to gamble his chances again and backs off immidiately.
