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.
1994 The C males of the Mpanamana pride rejoined their natal pride at five years of age and tried to exert dominance over the pride wanting to mate with their mothers and aunts. The lionesses would have none of it and two bigger and darker maned lions chased them off and claimed the pride for themselves.
This coalition lived on the basalt plains of Kruger National Park, about halfway between Lower Sabie and Crocodile Bridge camps

The Mpanamana Pride is today the Shishangeni/Vurhami/HippoPool/SouthLowerSabie/Gomondwane Pride was an emblematic pride in the southeastern area of Kruger NP, all of these prides originated from the Mpanamana Pride which came to have over 60 members among them!
2/3 Shishangeni males
"Two male lions slightly upstream from Jackalberry parking area. Lying on the ridge, behind the large tree, to the left of the gully near Marloth Park."

The two sons of the south Shishangeni male killing an old male lion at Kambaku River Lodge
Final Fight of the Lion King in Epic Battle at Kruger National Park
The other old male arrive at the area of where his partner was badly injury. He was roaring and scent the bushes, He was been roaring to the two young males that have almost killed to his partner. However, this bravery wasn't so long,the two young males turned around and chased him for a couple of meters until the old king was caught as his partner was.
Without a doubt. These two old kings had a very tough day!
Throwback to November 2019 (As per YT posted video). When the two Lubyelubye males (Smudge and his bro) caught and give a lesson to one of the two S129 males

So that male on the video is one S129/Mazithi Dam male? The one who has scars on his back?

What a beast, he is bigger and stronger then Mazithi males, but he was outnumbered..
