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.

So basically imbali males have 2 prides under his belt. 
1.imbali pride, 21 members pride
2.Talamati breakaway pride, 3 lioness 5 cubs. 

Any subadult males in imbali pride leaving his natal pride / how many subadults males in imbali pride? 
Doesn't he ( imbali male) is facing any challenge from the nearby coalition? I mean for the first time i am hearing a line lion is governing two prides. 
RRM, I understand, but what bout other coalitions? Why don't they challenge him?

Now I'm confused, where the Mluwati males not expelled from the Mluwati concession by the nwaswitsontso males? They're still there in December 2021?

No, rangers from Mluwati Concession still think that 2 N’waswitsontso males are 2 Mluwati males.. 

And N'waswitsotso males didn't oust Mluwati males. Mluwati males abandon that area in 2019, Imbali male and Hamiltons male fill the void, N'waswitsotso males ousted Hamiltons male.

S8/Imbali male

Are you sure? 
I mean, few weeks ( months) ago I have learned that S8 imbali is 7-8 yrs old and in his prime. 
Also these young imbalis seems to be pretty big ( they are much bigger than kambula subs and almost the similar size of PC males when they were first seen in sabi sands in may 2021).So they are around 4.5 yrs old. 
How can a lion aged 7-8 yrs be a father of 4.5 yrs old young males???

I believe the Imbali YMs are sons of the Mluwati Duo of Madala and Blondie.
