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.

Based of Hannos comment, he says 1 of them apperantly got poached, another just disappeared, only 1 was left, but no sighting of him recently either.
Such a shame, thru 2021-23, these guys where one of most impressive males in Kruger, all vanished in their prime years..
He said what we already know, big poaching problems around Phabeni and Pretoriuskop, hope Kambulas can stay safe.
There is a problem with the fences in this border area from Numbi Gate to Matsulu that has been reported several times. It is common for some kilometers to simply no longer have the protective fence because it was knocked down at some point and not rebuilt. As a result, many animals end up leaving the park and entering nearby villages. There are even records of some of these animals dying when crossing a railway line that is close to the fences. This poses yet another difficulty in addition to the already known fact that this area has few roads, facilitating poaching. These problems with fences make it increasingly easier to enter the park, in addition to allowing animals to leave and even be lured out.

There is no confirmation, but it is speculated that the mpondo males may have generated them since they come from the old mpondo territory and have some similar physical characteristics such as the super dark mane.

They came west of old Mpondo territory (Transport Dam and H1-1/S65 junction, in 2021).
They have some similarities with Charlestons, Mpondos, but might be from some other males.
Aswell similar to Renosterkoppies (Blondie & Mohawk) and Gijima males (imo).
All these 3 groups came from same corner of Kruger, but we dont know with certainty for neither of these 3 who sired them.
If i told you This male lion is not the famous Dark mane of Majingilane coalition you wont believe me? .
but this male lion is his Younger brother from Muntshe pride of lion born early 2008 ( known as Tyson/Three tooth ) in late 2013 become a Pride male of the famous Gomondwane pride along side with his brother the Wired Nose/Gingerd mane .
