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 Charleston Males

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"The Charleston males were feeding on one of many Cape Buffalo kills made by the Southern Pride in the last 72 hours, allowing for our guests to get the experience of the commotion that occurs while lions feed."

@vinodkumarn:

About#195: Power and explosiveness (explodability ?) I would say. As we can guess, perhaps these two males were quite quiet and sated and suddendly they explode against one another (the cub is just behind them, meaning perhaps that he didn't feel the coming wrath, nor the lioness).

The atmosphere was tense from the time these two boys met up early this morning. They are known as The Charleston Males of Sabi Sabi.  
For some reason the one did something that the females did not like, in particular Mandleve and she went for him.  As if that was not enough - maybe more embarrassed that a lady slapped him hard he went for his friend.  It was a quick tiff and over within seconds.  No blood that I could see.  
I have wished for an interaction like this between two male lions for all my life and last week Wednesday (9/11) I got to see this.  The sounds are something no one can explain or try to tell you, the intensity of this.  When I phoned home later this day I was so overwhelmed, emotionally and cried so much that my husband could hardly hear me.  I have an incredible series of photo's of this incident which I will share in due course.  I am very thankful and grateful that I had the opportunity to have been in Sabi Sabi and at the right time in the right place (and in the right vehicle).

"The Southern Pride managed to take down yet another buffalo, not too far from their original kill site. The two males had a few bites and have subsequently moved off."

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"The two Charleston males were resting in the shade of a tree for most part of the day yesterday and then again in the evening, they both rose in a majestic fashion with much flashing of teeth and flexing of muscles and set off on the continuation of their boundary patrol."

The two Charleston males have returned after a few days of absence while re-establishing their boundaries after the recent rains and are now not too far away from the rest of the Southern Pride.

The Charleston males were tracked down this morning! They are covering a lot of distance and actively roaring as they go…
