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.

Singita KNP update
  • The two Shish lionesses (one is the limping female) have been seen more frequently together with the Maputo male, who has now become completely at ease in the presence of the vehicles. They have been spending most of their time along the N’wanetsi River and south of the lodge. Towards the end of the month a third lioness joined them.
  • The Kumana male however, seems to be putting up more of a fight against the take-over of the Maputo male. We found him with two lionesses feeding on a waterbuck and kudu kill for a few days, and it was only once they had moved off that the Maputo male arrived to finish the remains of the carcass. This appeared to have given the Kumana male a confidence boost as he was seen the following day moving around his territory, roaring and scent marking, actively making his presence known once again. Towards the end of the month the Maputo male was found feeding on a large buffalo bull. On the second day the Kumana male arrived and there was a brief confrontation which included a lot of growling but no actual physical fighting. That evening the two males where seen feeding with their heads almost touching, and a few days later they were still together, lying around digesting their big meal.
  • The Mananga pride has be sighted regularly around Gudzane Dam with all seven cubs still alive and growing fast. On one occasion early in the month they were found feeding on a zebra with Xihamham and his brother. We had the two males move far south-east in response to the Kumana males’ territorial calls, but Kumana managed to elude them. Later in the month the Mananga pride were found feeding on a large buffalo bull quite far east into our concession, probably due to the lack of presence of the Shish pride.
  • Mountain pride were sighted only a couple times this month, as they seem to be spending the majority of their time in Mozambique.

Exactly. That's what I thought after going through recent pictures of the Mjejane males. Besides, the photographer said, " One of the Mjejane males with the cubs."
