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.

A testing month for the young kings of the west!
They also faced their first challenge as the Majingilane Coalition stole the Othawa females for 2 nights on their eastern boundary! The 2 coalitions roared at each other throughout the night but there was no battle, seemingly the Majingilane are stronger as they are older and in their prime but the Selati boys did stand their ground and the Majingi’s went straight back east the following day!
On the flip side they shared their first buffalo kill with the Ximhungwe females after the strong lionesses brought down an old bull. See video for some nice interaction at the kill. For the first time since the takeover we actually have a pride!
Ximhungwe pride
Short tail female shortly after feeding on the old buffalo bull that 3 of these tough lionesses managed to subdue!

Lots of mating still going on with the Selati boys…not always too impressed with their performance, see the look on her face below!

Othawa Pride
Most likely all 3 are pregnant and we will probably see a first litter emerging quite soon
