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 fifth mpondo ( eldest one) died / killed by S26 coalition or young jock male coalition or by mjejane males.
What about the other 3 mpondos.
Where did they disappear.
And how old is this last mpondo.
Also apart from 3 renosterkoppies males, any sons sired by mpondo males????
5th Mpondo was most likely injured/killed by S. Shishangeni and EBM male as they took his territory and prides in Jock Concession after their demise.
Blondie who was with 5th in Jock area disappeared shortly after 5th demise, he was in very bad condition.
3 other Mpondo (Snip-Tail, his brother and Amber Eyes returned back north in the beggining of 2020, re-took their old territory from DeLaportes around mid 2020 and took Nwaswitshaka area and pride from Big Boy Charleston in late 2020, but at that time Snip-Tails brother and Amber Eyes disappeared without any evidence, Snip-Tail alone controled Nwaswitshaka pride and sired cubs for about half a year, where he eventually got ousted by 3 Biyamiti males, and is now a nomad.
Snip Tail is 10 yrs old.
They prob have more sons then Renosterkoppies males, but we dont know about them, as they where dominant males for around 5-6 yrs in Kruger.
