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.

]Two of the Kumana Males have also returned after not being seen for more than a month and are unfortunately looking very skinny and weak. It is uncertain if the third male is still alive, but with the current conditions the males are in they will be unable to protect their territory and the new cubs they sired with the Shish Pride. We can only hope that the Shish Pride cubs will survive this uncertain time.[/color]

]]The three Shish males are still in good condition and have been spending quite a bit of time with the Mountain Pride. The two younger brothers are still doing the majority of the territorial patrols seeing as the third brother’s hip injury has affected his pace and range, causing him to often stray off on his own.[/color][/color]

Kumana/Skukuza males are 10 yrs old now, if im not mistaken the 3rd male wasn't been seen for quite some time now, it seems that age is starting to caught up with them.

The first sighting of the two older Giraffe males at Ngala when they were 5 yrs old in October 2014. By this time they had already sired the five Avoca males around Makanyi and Shindzela. This guy was known from an early age at Gomo Gomo in Klaserie as Brutus, because of his massive size and dominance. His litter brother was also a huge male, but at this stage they were too young to challenge the 3 northern Matimbas who were in their prime. That would happen a year later.

This is the other brother a few yrs later at Ngala. These guys were so intimidating they would roam the Timbavati solo. Image: Roan Du Plessis.

One of the Hoedspruit males make his way back to his Buffalo kill after quenching his thirst. The coalition had brought down a huge Buffalo bull two days earlier! It was now being enjoyed by the three males and the nine members of the Bosplaas pride!

4 nice photos showing male lions of the Kruger Park by Pierre Jonqueres who handles the camera with virtuosity and captures the deep psychology of the night, the killers' coat...

The South Shishangeni male looking like the serious cat he is. This guy was chased out of Kruger by the Shishangeni males a couple of years back, but he's proved that he can handle himself. Image by Rupak Hattikudur, March 12, 2020
