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.

We've basically all been asking these questions lately.  criollo2mil had a really good writeup yesterday on what we do know.  K3 was sited today without her sub-adults which is a concern.  Amahle and Orange eyes have been seen in the last 2 days with at least 3 lionesses and about a dozen cubs.

My big concern at the moment is that there have been no reports on Gore and his group that I've seen and also Mohawk has been absent of late.  Lot's of S8, so that's good.

Apologies for my ignorant ask here, as I don't know the dynamics of this, but with the recent sightings of Amahle and Orange eyes doing a bunch of roaring in various areas, could they be trying to call Gore, or is this just all a normal thing?  We've seen all of these recent sightings of Gijima's and Skorro and NK, and S8, but nothing on Gore and Mohawk.  Maybe that area is flooded to badly for people to go check it out, but that also is a bit of a concern.

Sorry for the rant.  I guess my question is... no reports on those lions for 2 weeks or so is not uncommon?  or is that a concern?

Right now, with what is going on with the Kambulas everybody is somewhat on edge. But two weeks is not that unusual for a healthy lion. Sometimes they just move to an area where they cannot be seen as easily.

- Kambula 2 (formerly part of the breakaways) - also conflicting reports.   First said to be looking for den sites.  Then later brought into doubts.

- K5 - seen at same sighting as K1
- K6 - unaccounted for 

- KYFs 2/2 daughters of K1 - seen w their mother and cubs (above)

UPDATE AS OF 9 MARCH :

think the following have been accounted:

The uncertain situation that is happening is certainly not a laughing matter, but on the contrary, I am really sorry and worried.

Suddenly, I was a little bewildered to see the lions in the building, and laughed at the comments from friend user @T_Pergusson

Sorry, the comment was so funny.

There’s a FB post making circulation that apparently includes a sighting of K6.   If true and current, then she now becomes accounted for.

Secondly, KYF daughter of K3 has also been sighted w her own cubs safe. 

This leaves the following not fully accounted for since the news of deaths:

- K4 lioness (she’s the mother of the 5 boys litter) same lioness that gave birth in front of cameras seen w only 4 of the cubs in her last sightings. 

- K2 Lioness - member of the Breakaways, last seen pregnant with conflicting reports of more recent sightings but can’t confirm date of most recent sighting.  

- two Sub Adult daughters of K3, youngest of the Birmingham offsprings
