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.
For me it appears like Male lions loose condition quickly if they loose females/prides with whom they spend lot of time.
Majingilanes lost Mhangeni females but not much territory. They have entire western sector and also another pride (Othawa, apparently One of the females is lactating!)
But they are quickly loosing condition. Couple of months ago they were looking as good as ever.
Same applies to Matimbas, they lost condition quickly when they lost Kambulas.
Though they had territory in Londolozi and Tsalala pride, they became nomadic.
