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.

This is male (one of two) dominating Torchwood pride (or parts of) and/or (in the past?) Fourways, right?

Tagged Simbambili, I didn't know they are going so far east in Sabi Sands (could be just close to Gowrie gate but still, or they traversed to another property and Simbabili tag related to vehicle, who knows).

Is it know who chased? Plains Camp males? Or N'ws?

Yesterday two N'ws were close to Selati camp, 3-4 Km from Umkumbe camp. also Post autor answered on coment  - helloo, yes that's what I have heard, but there is also a third unknown, who is a bit older than they are. Who has been hanging around too. There is lots of heat for the remaining Birmingham now.

Yes, a lot of young males around, Plains Camp males seen in northern Sabi Sabi, yesterday 2 N'ws close to Selati camp (which is close to Umkumbe as you said), Torchwood and NK/Styx might also be there..

The Kambula pride.
~
It's getting harder and harder to tell who's with who and where all the pride members are. All 6 lionesses are rarely seen together and they’re mating with coalitions other than the Gowrie males. The subadults are wandering around in small groups. Subadult males are often found by themselves. Added to these factors is the dense bush and flowing seep lines, adding to the already challenging task of tracking this pride. With all of this in mind, trying to understand and keep tabs on the pride dynamics currently is pretty much a futile task. We may have to wait for the dry season to eventually figure out the Kambula pride’s dynamics.

Goddam, it might even be that the third older male is the Torchwood boy linking up with the Nkuhuma and Styx.
