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.

Two unknown young males making their presence known in 5km west of Mpondo on S26
Any ideas who they might be?

A Pride Male of the Hamiltons Lion Pride ROARING up close informing his two sub adult sons that he is still the Boss while a nervous Impala herd is observing close-by.
The two Hamiltons Pride males are the N'waswitsontso or S125 Males that ousted the original Hamiltons Male some years ago.

Mpondo pride. Looks like they have one subadult male pictured, sired by the S26 males. Hopefully they do have other subadult males, just not pictured.

"Old Mazithi" are Smudge and Darkmane? Or is this another coalition. I thought the really old,  dead, 2 Mazithis, fathers of Mantimahls and others are the "Old Mazithis"???

This is Mazithi pride male (now ex, i think he and remaining brother are nomads now) 1 of 4 males who ousted 2 Old Mazithis in 2016 (who are fathers od Mantimahles, Smudge/DM and s79 males).

These Mazith pride males are fathers of 3 Mazithi/Tshokwanes, 3 younger Mazithis and possible few more.

They are around 11 yrs old.

But yeah as gavsker said these were the 2 at Kumana dam last time. Think Kumana as fathers is based on looks and that Kumana males had 5 sons but there's no proof in that. But yeah too many sweni males will be hard to find stuff

Those are this guys right? (not sure about that young male in the back tho, maybe some fighting going on) :

Hanno Erasmus is calling them s37 males, might be more appropriate then calling them Sweni males as we already have those.

This area north of Tshokwane  to Kumana Dam is quite confusing to me, Fourways/Torchwoods where also seen all the way to Mazithi Dam, then there we have 3 +1 younger Mazithi, Mluwati males should also be there, and now these 4 new Sweni/s37 males, also some of Trichardts should also be further northeast, thats a lot of coalitions, i have no idea what is going in there.

Think those 5 males are on h1-3 i remember hearing a sighting once of all 5 chasing some male into h6 but didn't know who the 5 could be. And someone said they saw all 5 of them recently close to satara

That Mpondo pride had least 5 males before, but these 2 were seen between s102 and s26, likely are the Mpondo dam young male, they look like the s26 males

Renosterpan Breakaway pride pictured late of last year- they had at least three young males, sired by the Eastern bank males. Any further information on those young males since?
