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.
Have the two groups met back up? One of the young adult groups found 3 of the lost Cubs from when nzingas chased the lionesses off a kill.
Has anyone seen Mohawk and the rest of the young adults?
In contrast to last month’s five sightings, we enjoyed 13 sightings of members of this pride in December. With the presence of the new Black Dam males, and the dwindling of the Northern Avoca males, we are beginning to see more fragmentation of the sub-adults from this pride.
Sightings:
• On the 1st, all 18 members were with the remaining Northern Avoca male north of Mlowathi Dam.
• A lioness was at Matshapiri Dam on the 4th; just east of Matshapiri Dam, the other two mothers and the seven cubs rested.
• Two sub-adult males were at Mlowathi Pans on the 9th. They moved east and were in Wild Dog Rocks Open Area on the 10th .
• One adult female, two sub-adult females and four sub-adult males were at Matshapiri Dam on the 12th .
• The three females and seven cubs fed on a buffalo bull carcass around Stwise on the 15th .
• Two sub-adult males, and one sub-adult female were northeast of Mlowathi Dam on the 18th . The same group was north of Matshapiri Dam on the 22nd .
• Eight lions from this pride caused chaos at the hyena den north of the Sausage Spot on Boxing Day when they stole a hyena cub carcass that was killed by the hyenas.
• 10 members were east of Stwise on the 30th .
• One adult female, two sub-adult females and two sub-adult males had a buffalo kill north of the Sausage Spot on the 31st .

Chela is with main pride.
Purple eye has gone last year.
So she must be either Amber eye or Ridge nose.
Ridge Nose, Amber Eyes breakaway with her but is gone.

Very strange, does that mean that Mohawk is losing battle vs 2 BDM's? I see no other reason why they would abandon their natal area.
Seem so! Them or someone else. The guides in the north were saying there was 4-5 males hunting around the Simbambili, Gowrie gate Buffelshoek area. They thought it was Kambulas but it seems to be some other males now that we know they are in Londolozi

Look like YOUNG TURKS are all around.
No safe place for OLD GUARDS.
