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.

It's not that they deleted it, rather they changed entirely their blog, and so many things they had archived were lost, I guess.

Malamala reports were very informative and left a lot of space for the reader to speculate and think a little deeper probably this was the problem.
anyway, I read that some people have downloaded those reports so they are not completely lost

I made the mistake of not downloading them, I think the only one I did download was the one for Kinky tail and Mr.T. The other ones, including the leopards, I didn't download because I was confident they were there.

Yes, two unidentified male lions(but it could be other male lions)

Extract from the mala mala archives:
October 2009
2 Mlowathi Males (aged 7 years 11 months)(23 sightings)
This month was a month for mating as both males were seen mating with the two Styx females, first as always was the male with the Mohawk mane but his brother also got in on the action. For the rest of the month the two males stayed with the two Styx females probably more scared than anything else that if they left them the females might try run away. One night while watching the foursome hunting the females managed to bring down a sub adult wildebeest, the males immediately confiscated the carcass but all of a sudden"two big unidentified male lions"showed up at the kill site. Initially the two Mlowathi males were a little hesitant but the Mohawk male true to his brutal nature didn’t take long to click and off he chased the intruders.


And this is how the 2 mapogos realised that they should move out of djuma.
towards the end of 2009 reports came in about the New Manyeleti Males roaring in Little Gowrie with the 2 Mapogos being only a few meters away … and Kinky Tail and Mr. T did not response!
See the video at 12:00

A little far fetched, considering subadult nomads never stay in one are for long, like we're seeing with the new young coalitins, like the Mangheni males, Sparta males and Talamati males.

@fursan syed About the video in post #549, it seems it has been taken down or deleted. Do you think you can get it again from another source?

@Fredymrt Excellent info, thank you for sharing it.

no not at all, at least September 2009 the Majingilane were in Djuma but always chased away from the Mlowathi Males.
Did not the same happen with the Selati Males? They were trying to get into the West since April 2011 when they were still 5 of them

That is two different things you're getting mixed. Subadult nomads will visit many areas and are going to be chased from all of them by different males.

it is simple maths for someone to realize that in Summer 2009 the Majingilane were young
