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.

Here both Matimba Males follow 2 of the Othawa Females that are trying to keep them away from cubs and one of the females are showing sign of coming into oestrus and both of the females have continuously been mating with the Matimba Males.

(Both Hairy Belly and Ginger Matimba are in great shape) Inyati Game Lodge - 23rd August 2018

if these guys stick around they will cause the same outcome for the othawas that they did for the tsalala's! they are not much younger to the majingalane males so dominance is surely amost over and before this they were nomadic but right now they have no challengers. they also failed to protect the breakaway styx lionesses and their offsprings.

Well listen you can’t blame them in the senses the styx pride because they heard 5 males. So it really wasn’t worth it for them to defend in my eyes.

When they lost Kambulas to Matshapiris.. they abandoned Tsalalas as well and vanished
Its a shame that..none of the Tsalala offspring survived... They were 5 of them.. survived for nearly 2.5 years.. then all of them died...

Ginger Matimba blows me away (HB too). Nearing 13 yrs old and still doing all the things a dominant male lion does. Did anyone see the recent footage of him stealing a leopard's kill from up a tree? I'll search it out. Credit: video by Dulini Game Lodge, posted September 12, 2018

I am surprised that they are doing well considering their age. They are true survivors though unfortunately the last three or four years have been a waste with no surviving cubs. It will be borderline miracle if any litters born from their recent romp survive to adulthood.

Looks he’s mating with the young Ottawa female. Which is good because she can give birth to heathier and fresh cubs.
