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.

Looks to be infected skin or a dark bruise. 
Mange maybe?

These two males are known as the Sand River males and they are between 9-10 years old now. You will find these two males on the H4-1 near Nkhulu. They are the pride males of the Nkhulu pride. Jean saw the Nkhulu pride today but she didn't see these two males. Keep an eye out for them. Photo taken in March 2014.

One of the 4 males from the Shishangeni coalition. You can find these 4 males on the S28 and in the Shishangeni concession. These 4 males have just taken over the Vurhami pride. The 6 Vurhami pride females are in the Shishangeni concession with these males.

Ok, here I found a bit of info on them:

The 6 Gomondwane males ruled Lukimbi and the Crocodile Bridge areas and they were the pride males of the Gomondwane pride and the Vurhami pride. One of the Gomondwane males was killed by buffalo in 2011 and the blind Gomondwane male disappeared last year so that leaves 4 Gomondwane males unaccounted for. The 4 Shishangeni males chased the remaining 4 Gomondwane males away last year. As far as I know the old Gomondwane males are still active in the Lukimbi area.

You're welcome, LionKiss.

From Jock Safari Lodge, Update on the Eastern Bank males:
These 5 young males have been seen on several occasions mating with the females of the Biyamiti Weir pride after ousting the Stolsnek Males for this area. The Guides normally find them on the S23 south between the H3 & the S114. They are very vocal at night and their roars can be heard in Camp just about every night. Photo by Dawid van Zyl.

The two old Mazithi males were ousted a few months ago but one of them is back with the Mazithi pride now. The two old Mazithi males are very successful males and they have been the Mazithi pride males for a very long time. I'm not sure where the other male is.
