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.

In The Olifants West Pride of lions was a mega-pride of lions in the Balule. After the death of their two prominent leaders big boy & mazinyo the pride splintered (Big Boy was killed after fight with his 2 sons who were trying to take over the pride)
Duma was the leader of the original Olifants West pride with 3 lionesses and 6 cubs
while his brother (Mohlabetsi has his own pride) the Mohlabetsi pride and has a younger partner and 6 sub males.This half of the pride is now 13 lions strong, including 6 sub-adults, while the lionesses all originate from Big Boy’s inimitable Olifants West pride.
Awesome info, thank you very much.
When I read that they separated, it puzzled me. Why didn't they stay and rule their territory together?
I guess there's always some male around that doesn't want to come second in everything.
