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.

His issue is that there are at the moment no prides in southern Manyeleti as Talamati pride shifted further south. Because of that Imbali male also shifts even further. It will be intresting to see how will lion dynamic go in the northern Sabi Sands. We might soon see some sort of interaction between DM Avoca and Imbali male
I dont think its necessarily pressure from other males, more vacant space south of him, because Imbali Lodge posted video of him in early April mating, and week ago a photo with lioness..and no new males around..
I dont think he would be concerned by Hamiltons male or 2 S125 males, these guys have territories further north/west, but as DM shifted from Southern Manyeleti/Buffelshoek to Djuma, he is naturally moving there.
I think that now almost all (or all) Imbali pride females gave birth, so he is prob trying to found new females for mating, which might lead to abandoning Imbalis if he suceeds..
