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.

In the 2012, he and Sizanani where starting to establishing themselves around Tintswalo and had Koppies pride under their control, but not for long, 6 Matimbas came in that area and killed this young male, while Sizanani without his brother, retreat south..

Where did you get info they fought Salatis? Didn't you confuse them with Othawas as Othawa males clashed with Nkuchuma males (Sizananis) in 2011?

Nharu/Tumbelas are pretty much born around the same time, in different litters, but 1 year before:

That's really very wrong information and misleaning that comes from Mapogo page then.
This was after that both males clashed with the Othawa males.

Odd that you bring up Sizanani, as this just popped up in my YT feed. It is a video about the killing of Blondie (Dozie's partner) and the destruction done to the Nkahuma Pride by the Mapogos. Ignore the fight video, which purports to show the fight with Blondie, they actually used the video of KT and the Majins for that (I hate it when they do that). However, there is some decent video of Blondie, and at the end of the video some really good history of lion dynamics at that time, including video of a young Sizanani.

This male is very similar to 1 of the Tumbela males, Scorro Jr.. Both have that Scorro look..
Also he remainds me a lot of young Tinyo, his uncle..

They really are so similar to each-other

Close up shot of a young Mbiri Male at Manyeleti. Not to be confused with the two older Mbiri Males sired by Matimbas. The 3 Mbiri Males around 3 to 4 years old were seen recently at Manyeleti in company with a Nharu Male. The 4 males look big and in great shape, had a successful buffalo kill recently.

Okay. Then my bad.
This means that they took-over the Mbiri pride in April 2016 and started to mated a couple of months later.
