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.

The area has been pretty well documented for the last year and according to all guides, they never see the breakaway pride except maybe 3 times the whole past year. Plus the females with cubs weren’t in Ngala. The Ross Males are also well documented and are with the original Birmingham pride almost 24/7 since last year. So I don’t know.... I think it’s a bit of mystery to me at least...
Breakeaway are seen in western Ngala and southern Timbavati towards Avoca pride territory/Shindzela Camp as far as i know.. If they are in Kruger, they would be north of Birmingham main territory, and thats area of Myambula pride..
Rangers said that multiple times, and about not seeing them in WE, they are filming around Ngala Camp near Orpens, as far as I know they dont go all the way west because of bad signal..
There was 14 lions on that sighting, and those are mostly subadults, breakeaway is in the same phase as main pride, older females are having new cubs and this subadults are in the process of spliting,breakeaway of breakeaway..
Those new cubs are very likely sired also by Ross males, we would see other males if they are close by or coming from Kruger..
As far as i understand , Ross males don't hang out with these subadults, they are hanging with main pride and breakeaway is their "affair" pride, only mating with older females, so thats the reason why subadults are avoiding them (if im not mistaken theres a video some time ago when 1 Ross male joined them on a carcass, and tensions where quite high)..
