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.
Sorry for what I will say next. But I see a lot of terrible lack of knowledge on you about the lion dynamics and their behavior.
I don't know what's is the point to say that the Southern Matimba males are a terrible duo or unsucessfully one.
They were really very succesful males not matter if they didn't sired cubs (that they really sired on) on the Torchwood,Nkuhuma,Talamati,Mbiri,Koppies prides etc.
Also,I see a lot of lack of knowledge toward the Matimba history,Yes,I accept that sometimes the fans have spread a incorrect history like the Mapogo fans did on his time (COMPLETELY WRONG FROM BOTH SIDES).
HB was involved on a lot of fights with strong coalitions...
1 - Mapogo males in 2011 (Matimba loss the fight,however,they decided fight)
2 - Majingilane males since 2011 until 2017. (Matimba have win as also loss).
3 - Nkuhuma males (Blondie and Dozie).
4 - Sizanani and brother.
5 - Birmingham males
6 - Matshapiri males
7 - Gijima males
8 - Othawa male (more than a fight it was a intimidation).
9 - Tumbela males (more than a fight it was a intimidation x2.)
I not a lion expert or the one who knows everything,However,I considered to be a lion enthusiast who just loves each lion,not matter coalition name,the history etc!
