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.

Mongawanes are not far away either.
Regardless, very sad for Mandevu, his adult life was prime example how hard is to be territorial male lion.
Had 3 brothers, 1 disappeared, Lambile got sick, Ncile snared, he was basically lone protector of his area for almost 2 years, constantly getting bullied and invaded by Mbiris. Few times in a fight with other males. Finally Ncile recovered, they looked great and expanded in Kruger, only for another blow as Ncile prob got killed.
He returned back, only options he had is to accept Nzuri, but looks like they didnt have time for him to mature, because of constant pressure from the north.
Mandevu is great and brave lion, but unfortunatley looks like (tragic?) saga of Tintswalo males is coming to an end.
I think its not just the Tintswalo Males that are unlucky but the whole lions in Manyeleti, with Mbiri Pride and their past dominant males like Ncila, Orpen, etc. all live to a short life, with Nharhu Pride they are quite unlucky as we do not know what happened to others Red Road sons (maybe snares as the location is Manyeleti), for the Imbali Pride we all know what happened to S8 and Talamati Pride shame on to what happened to them, Manyeleti seems to be black hole for the lions .
