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 Ottawa Male bumped into the Ottawa pride and chased the one female and cubs south of our lodge. Luckily for the Ottawa Pride the cubs got away and none were killed. After roaring and displaying his dominance he went to get the rest of the Mhangene pride and they came to fight for the territory. The Ottawa pride were without their dominant Matimba Male. He was about about 5km north of them. The two larger and older lioness from the Ottawa pride stood up to the 5 large females for the Mhangene pride and Ottawa male. The next morning the Matimba male was back in the south chasing the Ottawa male away and back to his his pride further east of the lodge. The Matimba male roared all morning claiming back his territory.

Wow.
So Othawa male first chased his sister Sassy and youngster, 2 older Othawa females stayed.
As far i can se Othawa male didn't attack his aunts, actually at 0:20 lioness walking side by him was his aunt Othawa lioness. Mhangeni lionesses where prob confused too by this as they let 2 Othawa lionesses aproached them, and yet then after sniffing attacked them.
Good to see that HB can still chase away a prime dominant male.
