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.

However the chase took place at Bobbjaan Krans which is close to the territory of the Leeubron Males on the S39 and S36. The territory of the Nsemani Males is closer to Satara around Nsemani Dam. So they would have to be quite far west of their usual territory for it to be them. However they could be expanding their territory westwards.
Guys, just google pictures of Nsemani males and compare, those are Nsemani males...
Leeubron males look different and they are rarely seen this days in that area, they have territory off the main roads..
IDing lions with pictures is just a bit lucky my friend.
you have a great knowledge but is hard to tell if those are definitely the Nsemani males, when Hercules and Sumatra mostly see there, despite the one of the left is a dark-maned male, it depends of the lens of the camera.
plus, we don't get any picture of the individual males to ID them.
Those males are Nsemani or the Hercules and Sumatra males, the one of the right has a limp according the photographer, he run a bit "funny"
