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.
Another productive and exciting week has passed in the Manyeleti Game Reserve at Tintswalo Safari Lodge!
The lion dynamics haven't changed much since the last update other then the Mothlawareng pride being back in the north after their stint to the south of the reserve.
...
This pride was possibly chased off a kill by the Avoca/Giraffe males after they were all found with full bellies not far away from a buffalo carcass with some jackal and hyena busy finishing the scraps. After this possible encounter, the Mothlawareng male with the limp was missing from the pride and his new coalition partner, the Red road male was the only one found with the pride.
The Mbiri pride of lions remained in the area around Tintswalo and we caught up with them and the Nharhu pride on a few occasions during the week. Both pride dynamics seemed to be unchanged and they are all in great condition.
