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.

is this far for mjejane males ? did they take over s26 males terrority ?
Mjejane pride is controlled by Hippo Pools males. Mjejane males control Byamiti and Lukimbi pride. I dont think Mjejanes males were involved as S26 were outnumbering Mjejanes. Only Makhololas were more numerous making them the likely culprits.

Seems that the guides don't know who fathered the white cub all the 4 coalitions around seem possible. Apparently the guides are leaning towards the white cub being female but its not confirmed as they haven't got close enough, they want them used to vehicles first.
"The newest #lion Superstar of the safari world has made an appearance at @singita_ Lebombo Lodge in the #krugernationalpark
Born in the Shishangaan Pride of #lions, the new #whitelion is one of only 4 wild white lions that roam the African soils today.
Speculation is rife as to who the fathers may be, but truth be told, this is something that could only be confirmed by DNA.
For months the females of the pride have mated with; The two Trichard Males, 3 of the Satara Males, the Maputo Male and possibly even Shish Males.
Yes they have been accepted by the 2 Trichard males, but there is no reason any of the remaining males would not do the same, all believing they are, (and having the same chance of being) the Father.
50% of Lion cubs do not reach a year old, and increases to 80% that cannot survive up to two years old.
To continue the legacy of: known #white recessive gene carrying lions, we all hope this cub is going to be one of the 20% that could reach adulthood.
Quick growth and easy food for the next couple months is a virtual guarantee as we move into Impala lambing season, and the female can provide regular meals to the developing cubs. Each month survived increases their chance of reaching adulthood.
