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.

Leopard Hills, April 10, 2013 "The 4 Selati brothers were found again this morning. We saw them drinking water together just before they crossed back east."
Me, myself, am not really sure who is who, but i guess that, from left to right: Male 2 (because of thinness); 3 (because of black mane and characteristic hip); 4 & 1 (because male 'far' right looks taller)

How were those images imbedded, from which site were they linked? It does not appear that you used Imagur. Many sites, especially and including Instagram, have a time limit on images shared from their sites, which we have no control over. I have not seen any images disappearing from Imagur, the site we use to embed images into our posts. Here is a link that explains how to embed with Imagur.

I have been learning a lot about this coalition of late, due to your posts, so thank you for that! For instance, I was always of the impression that the 5th was killed by the Majins after the killing of Mr. T, so I am glad I now have a more clear understanding of what actually transpired with these boys. I know they unfortunately had a really short reign, are there any of their cubs still living today?

You might be aware, their male heir disappeared into Kruger. Agreed, great post. Selatis are one of my favourite coalitions. You see 4 years old males hanging around with their natal prides. These boys went out and explored.

As far as i am concerned, they sired 2 Ximughve lionesses at their time in Sabi Sand. After being dethroned by the Majingilane and losing Selati 3, the 2 remaining Selati (1 & 4) kept the nomadic path for a while until they became dominants of the Talamati pride, where they potentialy sired some females and 2 males which unfortunately disappeared in kruger.

(also, i dont know if i got it wrong, but Selati 5 was killed before the Selatis kill Mr T, he was killed in 2011)
No, you didn't get it wrong as far as I know, I was the one who incorrectly interpreted things. I mistakenly thought the clash with the Majins happened after the Mapogos had been dethroned. This young male is one gorgeous boy, for sure.

'An amazing few days of game viewing was kicked off by the Selati males killing a buffalo cow. The males quickly brought the buffalo down, we presume they broke her neck, but the herd of about 400 buffalo turned and chased the lions off their fallen sister. Despite their best efforts the cow was unable to stand up.' - Inyati Game Lodge, June 11, 2013

I find a video that shows this same situation, really interesting and nice to watch, the mighty Selati males.
(With this video i can identify that the males in the first picture of my post are Selati 1 and 3, who were chased by the buffalo in the video)

5th Selati was killed by Mijingilane even before Majingilane killed Kinki-Tail.
thats actually not true, 5th Selati was killed in 2011 when the Majingilanes had already established themselves as dominant males, u can read more here in Selati vs Majingilane
