1 of the 4 Young Hippo Pools males ( Shishangeni Son) has joined the two S28 males. What has happened to his 3 brothers?

Wonder news! I hope he will stay with the S28 males, A bit concerned for the other Hippo pools males, I hope they're still there Reply

A spectacular photo for two golden males! Here’s a coalition made up of two brothers who rule a territory south of Shingwedzi along the Mozambican border with South Africa.

New cubs for Sweni Males

Speaking of Sweni Males, I really hope one of them with a snare around his neck has been removed by now. Reply

Any ideas why so many males in their prime have disappeared from the area the Mpondos were? It seems strange... entire coalitions have vanished. Reply

Well, its obviously that 3 Mpondos returned back around DeLaporte after lockdown, in mid 2020 and scattered DeLaportes, who fall back further north and split in 2 gruop.. But then 3T and HRM disappeared, Dreadlocks and Talamati (not sure about him) are still around Skukuza.. 

Then Mpondos (or just Snip Tail) tookover Nwaswitshaka pride from Big Boy Charleston in late 2020..but only Snip Tail is seen regulary out of Mpondos, dont know where are his 2 partners, i remember 1 was seen few months ago on S1.. They prob have another pride, if they are alive tho. 

4 Renosterkoppies males also moved in this area around S1 /S4, so they might also been involved in disappearence of some males.. Reply

So basically all due to lion warfare? That’s crazy.

I wish the Talamati/Southern Males never wandered down there. Reply
