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 Ottawa Pride cubs are thriving and all six of them have been seen regularly together now with the pride. The pride has been doing really well in terms of hunting and the cubs look in great condition.

That was what i was talking about, that Mhangenis are biggest threat to Othawa subadults, and especially Gingerella.. If 1 female managed to do this to her, imagen if they bump into whole pride, and obiviously their brothers didn't help her..

PC boys and Styx/NK will not harm them because they are still nomads, but Mhangenis are territorial pride, and they will attack them if they find them in their territory,and that will not end well for them, especially Gingerella, as females are more agressive towards intruding females then males.

No clue, the age does match though! Interesting to see they were still with the pride 2 years after the mapogo saga

I am not so sure Nym and Sym or the PCM wont be a threat though. 
For a nomadic lion they are spending a lot of time there. And singita has already reported roaring and fighting among the two.

It seems they are ready to claim the territory and probably wont be kind to rival male lions.

Both sets of males are roaring and trying to establish territory around Singita. They won't act as a nomads, but as a terrytorial unless they will get beaten up by other coalition forcing them to remain nomadic and keep low profile. Neither duo of those two seems to be intrested however in keeping low profile now.

This isn’t the limping brother that Sizanani partnered up with but could be from the same litter. The fact that so many of Blondie and Dozies cubs survived just proves that the Mopogos never took over the Nkuhumas… those females actively avoided them and if a few mated it was purely false estrus to distract them.

This is one of the younger Sand River females from a month ago looking very pregnant. I won’t be surprised if the two youngest females have cubs soon, which may also explain why the Southern Avocas are now spending more time seeking out females in Kruger.
