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.
Thats almost 20 nomadic males of min 4 yrs of age, who are ready or almost ready to be challengers, hanging in Sabi Sands alone.
Local territorial males will have their hands full protecting their territory.
Plus Skorro YM and u still have quite a few youngsters like Floppy Ear or Nkuhuma breakaway youngster that will be pushed out soon, there’s atleast one more Sand River Pride male either in SS or KNP and I believe he’s a bit older. These lone males need to grow up quick as possible and get some numbers on their side because SS is looking to be packed. Majority of these males come from the North aswell and even if they were to takeover at some point, there’s not enough prides to support all these males especially with the Talamatis South. I think if it stays so competitive we’re bound to see quite a few breakaways with females that are looking to mate with other males with their pride being dominated by their father(s) or females that mate with any many lions as possible to secure their cub’s future.
