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.
Yeah, it is not a great situation, maybe they get gready later and move on to claim another pride, but as long as they don't abandon Mbiris for good, as a 4 strong coalition (perhaps 3 but he probably re-emerges) they have good shot to sire 2 rounds of cubs with good chance to make, unless those with some genetic drawbacks already. I guess the silver lining is that he last Orpen cubs, if there is a male among them, he would get a good chance to be leader of his younger Tintswalo brothers if their road is somewhat untisted and uneventful and they would make a colalition together, which could help with him siring more than his share of that coalition cubs at least initially. Then again Thanda Impi and related genes might be less represent around than Matimba's and related ones, just in Manyeleti that seems to be different atm. Ofc that ibreeding situation might lead to the would be cubs not surving pregnancy or first weeks after birth.
What is Mbiri pride lionesses origin again? The younger, Tintswalo sisters, are obvious, but was Mbiri pride always there or do we know more baout its inception like in case of Nharus?
