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.
Somebody asked on Wild Earth Feb 4th Sunset drive which prides they see in Ngala (around 10 minutes into the drive) and the answer was basically they see mostly Birmingham pride who is centrally located on their land and at times they see Nharus from SE, Scorro from E, Avoca from N and Breakaways from west (I assume some might have been seen some time ago). That confirms Birmingham Breakaways are west of the core Birminghams. There might another split with the youngsters kind of led by the white young male (besides BYM if he is with them) spending time away from the core group, I guess somebody could call that group breakaway creating confusin. I will call them white group fr short, as long it involves both leucistic youngsters, if those females stay together as pride, we can't call them that then though.
Can some enlighten me on the numbers though? There is
2 Ross Males
5 adult lionesses
2 (1,1) cubs with the adults
3 (1,2) newest cubs
1 Birmingham Young Male who has resisted to be kicked out completely
8 sub-adults (the white group)
that would be 21
there have been 2 sub adults females together close to the core of thep pride in recent weeks, were they splintering from the 8 of the white group sorta coming back or would those be 2 more individuals, making the pride 23 individuals total, for now?
