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.

Not sure what pride this was, but they had a whole bunch of cubs at that time. I see folks in the video comments saying Nhenha was dominant over Mfumo, I always thought Mfumo was the dominant of them all, until he disappeared. Also in the comments, speculation that Mfumo was in fact poached, is there any truth to that?
I dont think theres clear pecking order in such big coalitions, all males have their moments of being "most dominant one" in some situations or over the years, we see evidence of that in all bigger coalition, just look at N'ws currently, we dont know who is the most dominant in between Amahle, WideNose and OE, all have their moments..
That was exactly the case in Bboys, Nsuku was the boss in early days, but as others mature, they all showcase that, theres no 1 dominant male all the time, especially as all 4 where very rare together since they become territorial, they had 3 prides under their belt, and when they where, they where mostly bonding and patroling.
Even in between the 2 closes brothers, who where always together and competing, Mfumo and Tinyo, its not clear who was more dominant, as both beat each others occasionaly, from what we saw.
Mfumo just disappeared, its unknown what happened, but i doubt he would be poached in Sabi Sands these days..
Interesting how 2 closes brothers, partners in crime, Mfumo and Tinyo shared the same fate in the end, we will never know what happened to them..
It's very sad indeed that they both just vanished. Sadly we see a lot of that, though.
