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.

Lybyelybye father and his two new friends. Pictures taken last month.
It's fantastic to see Lybyelybye father sleeping so close, side by side, with one of his friends. Obviously, that means they feel very comfortable with each other.

Wow, it seems too good with a father son coalition. 
But how it be possible. Jock males ( those who were born in 2009), take control of lubeylubey pride in 2017, and the young male in these photos also seems to be around 5 yrs old. 
So from 2017 - 2020, lubeylubey was governed by jock males. How did this young nale grew then. 
Or is it like that, it is from some other pride and sired by lubeylubey male as father??

2 young males with Old LubyeLubye are known as Hippo Pools males. They are/were part of a coalition of 5, who came from Gomondwane pride, old Gomondwane males are their suspected fathers

You confuse things, this 2 young males are not Lubyelubye fathers sons, his last son disappeared in August 2021.

This 2 are his new partners, i think they are stil not indetified.

Wait, they cant be Hippo Pools young males if they came from Gomondwane pride.

I think we still need to ID correctly this 2, its only a speculation that they are 2 of those 5 from Gomondwane pride.

Maybe @"Brahimlegend" has more information about the 5 young males. We need clear photos to ID them

In a thread on the big on wild site about shishangeni males he mentions 2 young men with a pride next to pools of hippos pride in the s25 maybe it's these guys, a pity they don't have some picture attached of both

That was initial guess, but they are not. 

2 new Lubyelubye partners :
