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.
A pride is first of all a social structure.
There are plenty of prides that genetically are the same family of lionesses. But have split up ages ago.
If Ximhungwe were to die right now, its probably to soon. But if this continues for a few years, then I agree that even if there is no genetic link with the old pride anymore Gingerella should still count as a Ximhungwe.
