The 'bigger' Southern Black Dam male that left his brother in Sabi Sands and went to Kruger teaming up with the Avoca young male.
Recently he has been seen without the company of the Avoca male and yesterday was alone close to S36 /S140 that goes to talamati not far from the riverbed section  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author by Behind A Rangers Lens
Hello guys, I saw a post on Facebook that said that all mjejane pride members were poached in the first week they were relocated in northern Kruger and also hippo pools pride were also poached in the span of one month. Is this true? The post says that it is confirmed by rangers but I don't know if I can believe it.

It is widely known that poaching in the north is quite common, and it is the biggest reason we are always so surprised when they send these cats up there. It doesn't make any sense.

So, regarding Kumana and Mayambula/Vlak coalitions, let's see if I can make a chronology of possible and actual interactions that happened between them in the last few weeks:
Feb 12, Vlak #2 seen on a mission, chasing towards something in the road: Feb 16, same guide posts 1/5 Kumana after chasing a Mayambula from his territory, he doesn't say it happened on that very day though, while on the Feb 12 post he said it happened in that very morning so could it be from the same day, 1/5 Kumana chasing off Vlak #2 from his territory? Feb 17, by David Vasconcellos, Vlak #1 in a mission, chasing towards something:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Feb 18 by Nelson Cruz, the youngest Kumana male seem injured, he has bite marks on his back:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Same day, Feb 18, by Behind a Ranger's Lens:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Photos by the same person at this time, Alberto Scattolin. Vlak #1:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Youngest, injured Kumana male:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author On top of it, Brahim had pointed out that 2 of the injured Kumana's brothers were limping, which increases the possibility that both coalitions may have clashed after 1/5 Kumana chased 1/5 Mayambula. There's no sighting of Vlak #4 this year, but all 5 Kumana and their father are accounted for:  *This image is copyright of its original author As a bonus, last year Vlak #2 had injuries that seemed more than what you'd get fighting your own brothers for mating rights:  *This image is copyright of its original author And in late November of last year, in the first sighting of the Mayambula cubs in the Sweni pride, Vlak #2 was seen a bit skinny, limping very slightly of what it seemed a wound on his right left-hindlimb: So maybe there's a rivalry between the 2 coalitions going for several months, or at least they had some encounters recently. |
