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.
My point is that it's too early to tell how many will survive in the end, not that they are not good pride males or anything like that. So far so good, but the harder tests come later on, when the males age more, the cubs are older and demand more food, when they bump into more competition nearby, when they seek out mates and prides, etc. Many large prides are doing well, not just the Kambula one, but so far the Giraffe Pride and B'ham Prides are holding their own. The count seems to have gone down a bit with the G. Pride, but not by half or anything. Plus, one of the males passed away awhile back, leaving poor Hercules to pull all the weight. He's doing extremely well!
