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 lighter-maned/bulkier Mantimahtle male could be a 3rd PC brother. I thought he might be the more dominant of the two after seeing him with Little Amber, but when he joined his brother, who was with the Imbali females, the dark-maned male displayed his dominance (stood tall and scent-marked), and the 'bigger' boy was submissive. So it's probably pretty balanced with these two.
James said that the Imbali girls are probably not in real estrus, as with the male lion dynamics being so chaotic at the moment they are probably just mating with any males they come across. So it's possibly the same for the Kambulas and Nkuhumas. We'll have to see if any cubs come out of any of it.
