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.
The Shishangaan Pride has been seen frequently on the concession. They are in good condition and have been sighted with full bellies. One of the cubs who was previously struggling with mange, has now sustained additional injuries of unknown origin which has left it with a missing eye and injured/tattered ear, however, when sighted, the little cub has not let its condition get the better of him and was still managing to keep up with the rest of the pride.
The Mananga Pride has been maintaining their stronghold around the north-western parts of our concession, predominantly around Gudzane Dam. The two Shishangaan males were also seen with the Mananga Pride on a few occasions.
The Mountain Pride has also been seen on the property accompanied by Xihamham (Shish male) on a couple of those occasions.
An unknown coalition of two males were seen steadily heading in a northly direction around N’wanetsi through territories that have been actively defended by the likes of the Kumana male and Shishangaan males, leaving nothing but tracks as evidence of their presence.
Another unknown coalition of four adult male lions were seen feeding on a buffalo in the central parts of our concession.
