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.

Exactly my thoughts on it too!
PCMs have theirflaws but they do offer much more stability and security than the four Kambula.

Cant completely disagree but i think the word "terrible" is in fact in terrible use here.
They are likely the strongest coalition in Sabi Sand, its normal they will have expansionist ambitions...
It's worth remembering that the territory they cover was, years ago, ruled by large coalitions such as Mapogo, Selati and Majingilane (each one in a period, all with 4 members) now the Plains Camp cover it all as 2 males only. I would lie if i said thats not impressive.

About lions that we regulary see
I think there is plenty of options to come and go... Quite a few bold young males on the surroundings recently
