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.

This whole region between Mayambulas and the sonop/satara males is a bit confusing, I'm not sure what the current situation is with Casper's two brothers, I just saw Footlose with a lioness. Both Maputo and Trichardt males are now nomadic.

I saw a post on Facebook, I'm not sure the level of truth, but it comes from a major contributor stating that a local Guide reported that that s90 coalition (N'wanetsi & Old S90) with a one-eyed man was attacked by Sweni males and continued to be pressured, in fact the male One-eyed was seen with marks from the attack and the other 2 males from the coalition were missing at the time. I hope someone on the forum, if they have any extra information, can contribute.
Anyway, there is a lot of action in this area that is not even reported on, we may be surprised with future news

This white lion(sired by ross males) was apparently attacked by rival males, you can see several bite marks all over his body

That male in the lower images appears quite old, carrying a lot of scars, he was certainly a tough old male.  Perhaps @T I N O or @Brahim may be able to provide more help.

Yeah Tank was seen sickly, lost a little of weight. The usualy guy who was always following and videoing Tank and the older s21 males who were killed videos him. Ill search for his channel.  He's posted here before. I actually think he's the one who came up with his name, Tank.

He looks amazing! Some good genes running through those boys, his northern brethren looked incredible right up until they were killed.

None of them, despite developing manes very early on, got Scar's mane, but overall they look just as tall and impressive as their fathers.

Inbreeding in the Birmingham pride is strong so I would be surprised if no male cub develops that Skybed mane Scar has, we'll see, future looks bright for the Mbiri legacy after all.

Absolutely enormous territory. Do we know how many prides they controlled, and as a result of having such a massive territory, did it cause them to be separated for a majority of the time?

I vaguely remember the seven of them walking in a video somewhere but haven't heard about them for a long time. 

Who pushed them out of their natal pride? Sr. Mbiri and his partner? Didn't Casper and his brothers fight sr. mbiri/partner over that pride and casper/co initially lost IIRC

They dont come from Satara pride which is under Shishangaans, their origin is unknown.

They where territorial around and south of H6 for years, this year they expanded further north around and beyond S100 road.
