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.

There were the Sand River, Ximhungwe and Ravenscourt pride back in the day, with Othawas in northern Singita and a bit of Western Sector I think, somehow similar to Manghenis now.
3 different males at that time, Dzunani, Ravenscourt and Nhlanguleni.
With the current composition I don't think it's sustainable, and not only for the prides but for the PCM too. They'll be hard-pressed to successfully raise any offspring.
Their only 2 cubs are in a tough position and the cubs' aunt ( as well as her small cubs I think ) were killed by the PCM's other pride in Singita already which made them move to Western Sector to begin with.
Manghenis have also lost at least one litter of 3 due to unknown circumstances ( and I wouldn't be surprised if it was due to Birminghams at the time fleeing through Singita and coming back though there every single week, they did met Manghenis too after all ).
It's too much territory and too many prides for the PCM to deal with and honestly with Tsalala roaring in Londolozi I wouldn't be surprised if they also mate with her.
