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.
The Mbiris have been spending most of their time around the lodge area and have been very successful in bringing down a few more buffalo. The males are looking really impressive and the young Nharu male will in particular become a beautiful animal. It appears that some of the females are showing signs of oestrus, as he is continually following and isolating some of the females and trying to mount them.
The Koppies Pride is looking strong and a couple of the females have been seen mating with the Orpen Males. The young male in the pride is also looking healthy and growing at a rapid rate.The Nharu Pride have been seen less frequently and the older female with the damaged tail was seen mating with the Red Road Male around Main Dam. It seems that the females are happy to mate with Red Road and haven’t gone looking for the Orpen Males.

Why this Nharu male isnt with his 5 brothers? He seems to be a bit older then them, prob from older litter and he left pride earlier.
Red Road male still causing trouble for Orpen males, first he was seen with their Koppies pride, they chase him away and now hes seen with their Nharu pride, brave boy.
Atm situation in Manyeleti seems to be : Orpen males with Koppies, Scorro and Nharu (Nharus might go with Red Road male if Orpens dont return and chase them away), Mbiris are atm with young Nharu male, its yet to bee seen if he will try to become dominant over them or if he wil try to form a coalition with their young male ( I know theres atleast 1 young male there, maybe more).
