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.

Wonder if they stole the Buffalo from someone. 4am to 5am they were moving to the MalaMala border, then 5:30 they were finishing a Buffalo






"Mala Mala Game Reserve

There's been a murder !!
Two African male lions have killed and eaten most of a buffalo early this morning."

All the 3 girls of southern pride.
Now it's hard to identify between mother and daughters.
Hopefully they will have their own thread soon.

When S8 was ruling over it, wasn't it a MEGA PRIDE?
I remember somewhere 25-28 members strong pride.
Currently I have heard either 1/2 nwaswitsontso, Hamilton pride male, have extended his territory and takeover the pride.
So all subadults are nomads now.
Anyone know how many M/ F Subadults?

The stage is set for a takeover.
The Northern Avoca male coalition is down to just 1. With continued pressure from the Black Dam males it would appear that the writing is on the wall for the incumbent.
Will the newcomers lay claim to the north and the prides that come with it? Or, will the fascinating lion dynamics in this area throw up yet another twist?
We wouldn’t bet against the latter…

Too little info to know that. 

Yes, they where super pride when Imbali male was still with them, they had around ~ 15 subs. 

But then he left them, and Skybed son was starting to takeover, attacking and scattering the subs, not sure how many survived. 

There are 2 more older young males, who are not with this group. 

Is there any more surviving subs? Idk.

There was a comment that the 6 males in this video are the Nkhulu males seen on 10th January in Kruger close to Paul Kruger Gate.

If this is them how far would they be from Sabi Sands?

Wasn't there supposed to be six young males and one older male = seven? What happened to one of the young male?
