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.

Awsome New Finde by Brother ( 李晨鹏 ) for The Dominant old leeupan/Mantimahle ( the Wide Face male lion AKA Dark Mane Majingilane Father ) seen at S130 in Kruger National Park back to 2012 doing well .
The dynamics in Casper the White Lion’s territory, along with his Shishangaan Brothers and the Satara Lion Pride, are shifting rapidly. A new lion coalition has emerged in the area surrounding Satara Rest Camp in Kruger National Park. This coalition consists of two young males from the Ngotso South-S90 lineage and their ally, the young Nsemani male, who is the son of Senior Mbiri and Rockfig. The upheaval began when Casper, Mfowethu, and Casanova, accompanied by two lionesses and two small cubs, were last seen on January 29th near the H6 road, heading south toward the Sweni River. Notably absent was Footloose, who may have succumbed to his injuries after breaking a leg, rendering him unable to hunt or move effectively. Casanova and Mfowethu appear to be in poor condition and are nearing the end of their lives, whereas Casper, despite previous struggles, seems to be improving and holding on. In a twist of fate, the Ngotso South males responsible for driving them from the Satara region are the very offspring of the three S90 Pride Males that killed four of Casper’s Shishangaan Brothers in 2018. Will Casper, the White Lion, and his remaining Shishangaan brothers return to the Satara area to confront the young intruding Ngotso South males head-on?

So biggest male broke leg and might be gone?
If thats true then thats massive blow, as he was their strongest and most healthy member of late..
I believe that even without a healthy sibling they can remain dominant if they intimidate rivals based on numbers for a certain amount of time, perhaps enough time for the new cubs to grow, it is still a 2x3 even if only 1 of these 3 is healthy, they will probably now remain united with the pride.

Theres 2 young s90 + young Nsemani, these guys are beasts, entering prime years.
3 ageing males, on top of that only 1 in good condition, prob cant hold them off if they invade.

I thought it was just 1 S90, in these conditions they don't have much of a chance. Do you have any information about those 5 young N'wanetsi who hung out with the old male Sweni? I have doubts if the one with the Chava Male is the last survivor or is it the male that disappeared when they were still with the old male sweni

I dont know if that N'wanetsi with Chava is one of those who hanged with Old Sweni, he looks to be a bit older then those guys, maybe older brother, idk.
