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.

Nhenha chased the Styx and Nkuhuma into Singita which is the core of the Othawa territory and roared there without any concern for the Othawa Male. He is always mating with the Cubless Kambula and then leaves. In regards to the Kambula, I don't think they are looking for more males as much as it is indicated by people. Kambula #1 who was with Nhenha when Mohawk surprised them was with Nhenha on the Londolozi airstrip the next day so she didn't stay to mate with Mohawk. Yes, Kambula #2 mated with the N'waswitshaka but she is still mating with Tinyo on Mala Mala video so her pregnancy with the N'waswitshaka failed. Kambula #3 has 5 new cubs with the Bboys. Kambula #4 , it's unknown on what she is doing. Kambula #5 still has her 2 young cubs to raise to adulthood and Kambula #6 is infertile.
Yeah, OM has no chance because he don't have numbers (As far as I know theres 0 cases of 1 male takeover 2 full adult, healthy males) he is just roaring on the edge of their territory to attract females, not challenging Bboys (Londolozi also stated that, and they said when Bboys then show up he returns/runs back west) because he did that in the past few times and he got lucky.
Whole that thing of OM challenging Bboys is just a bit of few peoples (guides) narrative..OM is doing this exact thing for around a year now, maybe not that deep because BBoys moved a bit further.
Nhenha would not and never did run from OM (arguably more impressive lion in appearance then Mohawk) like he did vs Mohawk, because he knows that he is alone..unlike Mohawk, where he knows he has a brother, who might be near by..
