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.

So the rumors of them being a part of a coalition of 4 males turns out to be a false.

All 4 where seen together and in different pairs sometimes, so i wouldn't call that false, but it looks like that coalition was not formed, its just nomadic males hanging around.

Didn't some guide/ranger said that all 4 where seen together? Few of them was also seen on that giraffe carcass, Guernsey male with Giraffe and/or Thornybush young male, Thornybush young male was also seen with Monwana male.. Cant remember exactly of sightings, but 4 of them where seen together mixed in some pairs.

As far as I know those rumors did not came from any official source (guide or lodge).

As far as I know there was signle sighting while back from Thornybush where Monwana male shared kill with some other 2 males, but that is not enough indicate that there is any bond between any of them and still it was 3 males in total, not 4.

I'm not sure where the machaton males are currently, but the Kudyela lionesses already have cubs with the Masungulo males. It happened late last year I believe. 

The machaton sub-adult offspring have formed their own group and still roam the area avoiding the males, we still see them on the wildlife cams but not with the machatons for a while now.

Machatons abandoned Kudyelas while ago.
