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 Gijima Males are giving the other 2 dominant coalitions in Sabi Sands a run for their money in rivaling the number of cubs sired by them....but of course, only time will tell how many survive to adulthood. The Nzenghas have 16 (though some older litters are probably Gore's and Ubuso's no doubt) The PCs have 14 with more yet from the Tsalala Lioness...., and the Gijimas have more cubs by both their prides recently! At least 12 and now the other Southern Pride Lioness introduced at least two more....so they could have more than the PC Males as of today, minus the number the Tsalala female will produce.
PCs have 2 from NK Breakaway, 2 from Othawa Pride and 10 from Mangheni, plus more by the Tsalala on the way. Will be between from 15 to 18!
The Gijimas have 7 from 3 Talamati Lionesses, but one has yet to give birth...plus at least 7 from the Southern Pride, too.....but more if the last lioness had 3 or 4. (so, 14 to 16 potentially)
These three duos are ruling well, so it will be interesting which ones of their offspring make it past the nomadic stage, and how well all of them will get along as they inevitably meet sometime in the future, clashing for land, females, prey......
Sadly, not all will survive for sure, but hopefully the majority. The Thandi Impi Coalition also had about 18 from two prides, but only about half actually made it. 5 Males in the end, and maybe even more females in the Mbiri and Nharu Prides.
