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.

Keep in mind that for quite a while one of them was very ill.
That could be said for most coalitions. Nhenha and Tinyo have pushed back many occasions which Potato doesn't accept and thinks they're only recon missions. The main reason the Avocas and othawa pushed further and tested the Bboys unlike the Nwaswithshaka who have a clear fear of the Bboys after they chased them or the two Kruger Male who in 2020 were actually pushing into Bboys territory is the Infertile lioness, she basically lured the Othawa male in no matter how many times the Bboys sent him running and she lured the Avocas deeper. The reason of the Avocas push this year was because of Tinyo's weakness and illness. Thats why the Bboys lost land. Nhenha couldn't cover the entire territory by himself but he did a damn good job trying. He sent the Nwalungu and PC males running by himself. Nhenha also did it last year chasing both Avocas by himself in northern Londolozi and he kept the Nwaswithshaka from pushing further north when he returned to patrol Sabi Sabi. I'm not sure people actually remember that, it was the same time he chased the PC Males and their sisters. I spoke to a ranger to ask how far Nhenha and the Nwaswithshaka were from each other and he said his presence pushed them further south. I don't think people realize how difficult it is for the Bboys to hold central Sabi Sands. It's probably the most dangerous territory to rule in the reserve for older lions because you're completely surrounded. The Souther Matimbas lost it very quickly after running from the Bboys to the Matshipiri. Western Sabi Sands that the Mapogos, Majingilane and the Southern Matimbas held at the end of their reigns was far easier to hold.
