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.

From what I’ve heard, yes, all 7 from Giraffe Pride. 2 oldest ones left first and joined their own prides breakaway pride (Avoca). 4 other brothers then left themselves and joined up with the 2 oldest with Avoca Pride. 7th brother joined up with his brothers too but never stayed and ended up taking BD Pride by himself.

Such an incredible story!

2 might have left to Kruger earlier, as they just disappeared (last year i think), RRM was also seen hostile towards them around that time.

Wow so cute and good to see new Red Road / Nharu cubs! 

Looks like there are actually two litters: 1 litter of three, born very recently as we can see, and 1 slightly older litter of two (or perhaps more). The older litter is, I think, the same two cubs that were sighted around Pungwe and we mentioned on this forum on November 1st. So that makes five cubs total.

I count two female cubs and one male cub of the youngest litter. Let's hope the older litter also has at least one male.

Nharus with newest cubs and Red Road from 6:15 onward.

It really looks like 1 male, 2 females in the newest litter - at the end it seems he is even slightly bigger.

With all of the recent clashes, being pressured from all sides, and the turmoil of constantly changing dynamics in the area, I hope RRM is able to hang on long enough to see these newest cubs to age.

Yeah this could really be Red Road's last dance. If he can keep these cubs secure for another 12, 18 months, they have a high chance of survival and can contribute to the overall longevity of the Nharu pride (the females). It would also be a "good" natural moment for Red Road to leave the pride (in whatever way), since he has been reigning over the pride for what, 5+ years now? Incredible, wow. To prevent inbreeding with his own daughters this would be good.

What gives me hope for these cubs' survival, despite the turmoil and changing dynamics in the area, is that their mother is very experienced. And of course their father is no joke, great to see him hanging with the cubs.

By the way, Red Road's mane is really developing into a Scar Mbiri type mane, with the hair forwards lol, love to see it

I also agree with the sentiment that this could really be Red Road's last dance as there are already new young males that is looking for territory (Monwana, Birmingham Breakaway, etc.) and would be up incoming new males near him (Torchwoods sub adults, Kambulas sub adults, Nkuhumas subadults, Vuyelas subadults(Sark Breakaway), etc.) and his neighbor in North is Mandevu has a new and young partner Orpen Young Male as well as the Mantimahle Sons in his South as it seems like they are currently in hold of Imbali Pride. Being a lone male lion is truly a challenge for a male lion, but props to him he did protect the Nharu Pride as a lone male lion like the Kruger Male until the Kambulas and Mantimahle Sons push him off the Imbali Pride and Torchwood Breakaway respectively.
