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 Mjejane pride males lying under the tree, close to the two Rhino carcasses that Nhongo Safaris found in the Kruger National Park yesterday. The two carcasses were poached by poachers coming into the Park.
A photographer reported that more poaching incidents happened in the S118. 
This is what he said: On the S118 was a cow with a calf.  What I heard was that the was calf was taken by the lions.

From what I seen, Mjejanes are starting to vacant that area of Mjejane reserve, they are now mostly seen further west around S114/S118 roads, they are still returning occasionaly (last time Mbilu was killed) but i dont think that they are much interested into that area anymore.. Which is understandable as they where around Lukimbi/Mjejane area since 2018.

They were seen there, what a week or two ago, as a few of us were hoping Mo would stay well clear of them boys, but I didn't hear much after that. I do hope they move on, and let poor Mo be.

I find Mo to be a lot like OM, in that he is just such a beautiful lion, big, fantastic full mane, and bearing few visible scars that typically come with being a male lion, and living a seemingly carefree existence, he has a couple of ladies, and they just have their little area, not causing a ruckus for any nearby. That last part didn't neccessarily apply to OM, who had made himself quite the thorn in the side of the B-Boys for some time.

I like lions who have very distinguished/unique faces which you can immidiately recognize as these 2 brothers have. 

I find 1 young male who has similar faces structure as this guy, on Kruger Sightings in May 2019 on s37, northeast of Tshokwane:

Possibly sired by same males, unfortunately, before Trichardt males, i think its not known who where dominant males on s37.
