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.

Thank you for sharing, beautiful pictures.

It is interesting that K5 has small and pale eyes, while K7 has bigger and orange eyes.

Hello!

I'm sharing a slightly improved version Tsalala-Mangheni-Kambula family tree, adding the contributions that I received. Info from recet sightings was considered.
Note that it is impossible to include all lions that have been born, so you can see:
- Adults with offspring or regular member of a pride.
- Emblematic individuals  
- Current subadults (>2 years old)
- Current cubs (<2 years of age)

I recommend you to download the image to read more crearly. Hope you like it.

Let's see if Ndhzengas can do what the Bboys couldn't.

I think it is very difficult for a coalition to succesfully raise two generations of cubs with the same pride. Majingilanes were close, but sadly didn't make it. Maybe my knowledge is too short and there are other cases, do you know other example?

I am not sure, but the two Mibiri male lions? Matimba sons? I thought they had raised a few cubs in one pride. I think there is a few.

Hi I think they could. When In that time the Birmingham male lions may they rest we’re having problems with Mohawk and brother may he rest. 

I think there was a problem when young male lions were coming around. 

I think they could raise more cubs. In that time Mohawk was in the north. There is no male lions in the north. They would want Nukhuma first? 

Wouldn’t they want Nukhuma first before coming where there are two male lions and lionesses with cubs? 

I hope they can. I am starting to wonder of young Kambula male lions with them.

Sorry I can't understand what you are trying to say. I'm not native english speaker either, but I help myself with online traductors... you should try.

They're a couple of years younger than the BBoys were so maybe that can do it. We'll see.

I think that the Ndhzenga Males will succeed in this as the dynamics in the Sabi Sand at this time is somewhat stable and almost all dominant males are a duo (PCM, Gijima, Mantimahle Sons). While when the last 2 Birmingham Males are still alive they are getting past their prime and  and is pinched or sandwiched by younger males like the 3 Northern Avoca Males in the North and 4 N'waswitshaka/Ndhzenga Males in the South.

New Londolozi Blog:

Changes on the Horizon: An Update on the Kambula Pride - Londolozi Blog

Speculation about a new split in the Kambula pride, with the separation of K5 and K7 giving birth to new litters sired by the Ndzhengas.

They also reaffirm that the male subadult injured by Styx male is recovering, so I will have to edit mi diagram in the next update to include him (if recovery is sustained).

Hi. I wonder if some young male lions of Kambula pride may be pushed out by Kambula lionesses and Ndhzenga male lions. 

I wonder if the other lionesses would have more cubs. If there is two young cubs that are younger I wonder if two other Kambula lionesses with older cubs, sub adults would soon have more cubs.
