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.

Yes they are.
Clearly the Trichardts will have to bring all 5 members up or else they will be severely outnumbered since 6/7 Sataras are in good condition (if I remember the other one has a broken leg when he was last seen.). So yeah its gonna 6 vs 2 if Trichardts dont reunite, and I think this split is similar to how Ginger & HB split from the rest of Matimbas.

Only 4 Satara's are hanging together in this area, they are also prob in process of spliting as Trichardts, and 3 are healthy (these 3), but still its in their favor 3 vs 2, or 4 vs 3 with both parties have 1 injured male there, although not sure of recent status of injured males.

The Last Mpondo & Young male (Possibly Hippo Pools male) have been relocated.
"[11/26, 14:02] CARNIVORE UPDATE!
Gerrie Camacho of the Carnivore Team released the following statement:
Excellent teamwork between MTPA, Wildlife Vets, Nkomazi Municipal Rangers, the Carnivore Team, members of CPF and Security personell performed a very challenging operation to capture the last of the Mphondo lion males and his few years younger coalition mate on the corner of Volstruis and Moddervis last night. The younger male, according to sources, is possibly from the Hippo Pools pride. Although it was clear that these males were pushed from their latest territory in Kruger and in a fairly battered state, they attempted to make Marloth Park their preferred territory the past few nights. A number of hurdles had to be overcome and through the assistance from State Vet Services, Skukuza and Kruger management themselves, it was permitted to move these mega cats last night to their holding facilities at Skukuza, from where they will be moved to the North of Kruger where a fairly low population of lions do occur. In this way they get a second chance on life.
