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.

Nah, they have been in southern Londolozi recently (from where this footage is), not sure if they returned south.

Only males who have been seen in their territory atm are nomadic Talamatis and NK.

Thanks... time for an updated map!!  hahaha

I guess looking at the map I can't determine the distance.  It seems from Google Maps that where the Kambula 4 YM's, the main Kambula and N'WAS, the Gijima, Southern Pride, Young Tala+NK, Styx Pride, and recently main Talamati seeming further south.  It just seems like a lot of stacking.  I think it was said the Buffalo are roaming south, so not sure it's just a following migration.

Quesiton... Would the Nottens Triangle on the map be considered Sabi Sabi? To me that would at least put some distance, but even the northeast corner of Sabi Sabi seems right on top of everything.

Yea, some consider Nottens under Sabi Sabi.

Not sure if Sabi Sabi vechicles are roaming Nottens and Umkumbe.

For example, reserves in western sector roam whole area.

"Following tracks of buffalo did not only lead us to the buffalo but also to the 2 Gijima males & 2 Talamati females. With the current heat wave making its way through the area, they walked from one shady spot to another, waiting for nightfall & cooler conditions"

Its been November 30 that the cub was last seen, so people started asking the guides for an update. Initially it was believed that the cub was stashed for a few day so the mother could hunt etc. But then when guides went and check they found elephants trampled the densite. Its now over a week since the last sighting, which is a long period for a cub to go without checkup by the mother. So its believed he perished during that event.

Initial confirmation was in private, though Omegagodi has refered to the cubs demise in a later post. 

I dont see the connection with the Gijimas though? So I think you may have accidentally posted in the wrong thread.

Three Gijima males together,   probably was taken two years ago.
Dark Mane Gijima has a lump on the hind leg, which can be clearly seen in the video.
Is the one facing camera missing?
