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 Nkuhuma Male is currently on Southeastern Othawa/Robson's with a wildebeest kill and was joined by Hairy Belly, the Matimba Male,  this morning. The Nkuhuma Male has a gash under his jaw that is believed to have come from the wildebeest during the hunt.

Its better to post about NK male under Bboys sons thread.. 

Still no sign of Styx male, now im really concerned about him..its around 1 month he was last seen in Londolozi..

Kambula pride in Londolozi :


*This image is copyright of its original author


It was 16 members of the pride here (not counting Bboys) , all the subadults and they said 2 adult lionesses, idk if thats true because that would mean that 14 subadults are here, but only 12 where seen recently,they could mistaken some adult lionesses for subadults tho.. 

Rest of the adult lionesses are with their new cubs.. 

Split will eventualy happen, but its definitely a good thing that not all adult lionesses give birth so they are still hanging with subadults..i expect 2 more lionesses to give birth soon, then theres infertile 1 and 1 lioness that give birth last year so she wont be in estrus soon.. Those 2 are prob hanging out with subadults..

The Talamatis (with nine growing sub-adults) are seemingly expanding their range and moving all across the northern sector. They were seen on the Djuma Waterhole camera a couple hours back. With the Nkuhumas having shifted south and further west, it has opened up the opportunity for the Talamatis (a breakaway of the Nkuhuma Pride) to move further afield from their territory.
Note: I don't post the videos as I've did a couple of days ago because seems that the FB issues has back once again.

The Tumbela certainly seem to be gaining in confidence, as we can see in this video.

Torchwood male, imo, is one of the best looking males in all of Sabi Sands and Kruger. Such a gorgeous specimen.

Thanks for sharing these @Potato !

He's such a good dad, one of the reasons I follow him so closely. He got that from his days with his natal pride.

@BA0701 Agreed! Also seeing the N'Ws with their cubs was great. I was a bit worried about how they would react but it seems like they completely accepted the cubs which is great to see.

These months are crucial for those youngsters, as they need to learn as much as possible while they are still accompanied by few adult females..

Not just Sabi Sands but Kruger as a whole. Sabi Sands has housed extremely handsome lions over the years like, Blondie Nkuhuma, Pretty Boy ,Ratsa, Ndunha, Nhenha, Nsuku, Hip Scar and now the Othawa Male, the Torchwood Young Male and the Styx Young Male are some of the most beautiful lions around. Junior and the 2 Othawa and some of the Kambula Young Males look like they will be very handsome as well.
