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.
Old ku mana and young Maputo male sighted again. They are in very good physical condition. Recently they were defeated and ousted from their territory by 2/5 Trichardt males but it's good to see that they are fine.
More pictures of Kumana male and Maputo male. Great to see them doing well and hopefully they will find themselves a new territory and a pride soon. Pic credit: Julie Osborn

Guys, do you remember the video footage of a young male who had a broken spine and he was getting so frustrated while trying to stand up? He then grabbed a small log/stick in his mouth while trying to stand. Nearby there was a coalition of males who were resting.
Who were they?

"If im not mistaken, this is 4 "Current" Mazithi pride males (2 alive now, fathers of 3 Mazithi/Tshokwanes) killing young male from Mazithi pride during takeover of Mazithi pride after they ousted 2 Old Mazithis, this young male should be brother of 2 Mazithi/Lubyelubye males Smudge and Dark Mane, this occurred around 2016"

This means that Smudge&Dark Mane are half brothers to Mantimahles and S79s?
It's been more than 10 days since the clash, still no word on the 2 Shishangeni? I don't believe the 3 Gomondwanes could have gotten both of them, at least not when the clash occurred, especially when one of the Gomondwane didn't seem to have much, if any, blood on him.
