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.

Incredible, quite a rare case of dominant male accepting another male in a coalition, i guess it helps that Drop Lip Kumana is quite old male. 

Is there any info about their dynamic with Shishangaan pride, is the Maputo male threat to subadults?? Or is the pride avoiding him?

I recently saw a video (A few days ago or even a week ago) of a male lion on the move through the darkness. The male lion looked as the Snip-tailed Mpondo male. I will try to post the video here.

According to the guide, the latest information, two of the Shishangaan lionesses were with the Maputo male for a short while and one of them was mating with him. The rest of Shishangaan Pride have been avoiding the area.

The seven-year-old white lion Casper was recently seen with one of the lionesses at the Nsemani of Satara. During the next year, we may see white cubs of this distinguished lion, which is rare and wonderful to see!

Recently, After of a research of Northern Kruger lions, One of Mopani/Shimuwini males from the Northern section of the Kruger National Park come to my mind, One of the males was seen with a nasty injury made by humans by a snared. Thus, Since he was seen with that nasty injury, he wasn't seen again. Does anyone know what happened to him?

The two gorgeous, light maned males seen opposite Two Trees/ Jackalberry this morning. Not regular males.
The lioness with her year old cub and the newest cub, opposite the start to the Two Trees loop. The little one fed, then the mom and baby had a bit of a game, before the lioness headed out, hunting.
She made a dash for a huge herd of impala who were close to the river, but missed catching one.
After that attempt  she went back to the cubs and the 3 of them headed downstream, towards the Soenie loop area.

Possibly Shishangeni males' pride due to the location.

Seven lions asleep, including the two remaining Shishangeni males, in the shade of a bush, opposite Two Trees and Jackalberry yesterday. 
At around 5pm the cubs started stirring and then came down to drink, while the adults slept. After playing for a brief while the cubs just lay on the bank.
