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.

I would say that older Othawa male and Long mane Styx looks very similar and both like Scar Nose Majingilane.

The Talamati boys are going to be very big male lions if the reach their prime . They're looking as his dad DM Avoca, and as his grandfather, the mighty Brutus.

The one above with his Orange eyes looks like Mohawak Avoca.

Well, I think both of them were seen travelling through Manyeleti last year. Then,Might makes sense that are fathers of the Talamati sub-adults

To be honest. I don't have see many photos of Blondie Avoca with the Talamati pride, But of Dark Mane are a lot of images and of Mohawk some good photos as well. Despite all three have mated with the Talamati females, DM and perhaps Mohawk,These two might be the potentially fathesr of those sub-adults

The Othawa male at his best on Umkumbe Safari Lodge
Did you know - A lions roar can be heard from up to 7km away. Lions roar for several reasons, from advertising territorial ownership and intimidating rivals to locating other members of the pride and assisting in social cohesion.

Avocas took over Talamati pride before they took over Nkuchuma pride and by that time all of them spent most of their time with Talamatis.

Okay,They have spend time with the Talamati pride, I agree, Btw, I never said that Blondie and Mohawk didn't have spend time with the Talamati females. just that I don't have seen much images of Blondie with those lionesses,But now, those sub-adults are a copy paper of the Dark-Maned Avoca male. At first glance he should be the potential father

Well... That is because Tintswalo didn't do their sofa safari videos back then and Talamati pride didn't apear by then in Djuma so they haven't been on wild life safaris either and in general there were not much updates and pictures of that pride.

The most incredible time spent with the Mhageni Pride and the Othawa Male. Witnessing the tiniest little cub I have ever seen, watching the pride feed off a buffalo kill (as well as watching the extreme strength of the Othawa pulling the buffalo into the shade all by himself), and finally the iconic drinking scenes.
So so special..

Some exciting news! 
The Nkuhuma Male is currently on Southeastern Othawa/Robson's with a wildebeest kill and was joined by Hairy Belly, the Matimba Male,  this morning. The Nkuhuma Male has a gash under his jaw that is believed to have come from the wildebeest during the hunt.
