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.

He is the son of Xihamham and brothers. ( old shishangaan males)
That means he is the younger brother of Casper and brothers.
Not sure if he alone or having any brother.

He has no brothers so he is alone. The Mountain pride of 11 happens to have 5 female subs (I believe) and only 1 male
Great sighting, H5 pride was seen after many months of absence (since last year when Lubyelubye Father abandon them after Son went missing) , cubs sired by Lubyelubye Father and Son are stil alive:
Out of the three different prides that we have on the concession, lion sightings have been very good for all of them this month.
The Mountain Pride was seen a couple of times around Pony Pan. One lioness seems to be ready to breed again and the pride have been moving way south across their boundary to the sticky thorn area. The Shish Males have been away from them for a long time, and new males have been following them, so we are looking forward to seeing what is going to happen next.
The Mananga Pride is doing well and has been spending some time around the north-west section of the concession. We found them feeding on the zebra kill the other day and counted 28 together, including the Shish males.
The two Shish lionesses with cubs have been spending time around H6, S37, and south towards Sweni Bird Hide - they were hardly on the concession this month. We also think they might have lost four of their cubs because we only see two of them now. Recently we found three nomadic males on H6 and the Shish lionesses with two cubs were at Granophyre. The other five members were north of Ostrich Link. It seems like they have been chased away from the west by the nomadic males.
Maputo and Kumana were also seen a couple of times around H6 and north of the lodge. They have been roaring in their territory but it seems like their territory is shrinking because the Shish males are also pushing them from the north.
