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.

If the guest is right, it seems that the Birmingham Pride has 31 members:

We know they have 7 adult lionesses, so even if we include the Mbiri males, this would equal 22 cubs.
Prior to this it was believed they had 18 cubs, but in the WILDwatch Safari which footage may be from months ago, they show Scar mating with a lioness and say that she is the last lioness from the Birmingham pride that is mating with the Mbiri males. She might have had 4 cubs if the sighting above is to be believed.
22 cubs, this is crazy, add possibly what, at least 10 subadults from the Skorro pride ( I think there are many more, I believe the pride had way over 21 members ), 10 Mayambulas, and currently the Mbiri males have over 42 living offspring, probably more, which is mindblowing.
These are very impressive numbers for even big successful coalitions, but the Mbiris are only 2.
Most of the Matimba offspring has been themselves very successful. The 2 Mbiris's bloodline is approaching their fathers at this point
Also, I forgot which Matimbas sired the Mbiris. Does anyone know?
