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.

He spoke to Nkorho rangers, they said S8 male has come all the way down from Buffelshoek and was around Nkorho/Cheetah Plains.
Apparently he was in the same area this morning where the two kruger males were last night.
Quite strange behavior for Imbali/s8 male, is it possible that he actually lost or abandon Imbali pride??
Somebody posted here update that theres new male with Imbali pride, which i found quite strange as Imbali male was not long ago still seen with the pride and had new cubs, 18 members in total, 6 females .. And theres a video of him mating at Imbali in early April and no info about new male..
But Imbali male hanging on Buffelshoek, and now deeper in Sabi Sands in the past 2 months, it looks like he is willing to abandon Imbali pride..
I am thinking the same - that because of pressure from another coalition he shifted to southern Manyeleti. His issue is that there are at the moment no prides in southern Manyeleti as Talamati pride shifted further south. Because of that Imbali male also shifts even further. It will be intresting to see how will lion dynamic go in the northern Sabi Sands. We might soon see some sort of interaction between DM Avoca and Imbali male.
