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.

She was seen walking with him on that sighting.
I think she was chasing him at first before realizing it was actually Othawa Male, not walking with him.
I have barely heard anything about the Koppies pride, after the killing of the second to last female, leaving one female with 7 cubs, then the very last video I remember seeing she was all by herself a month or so later. Any word on her, or if in fact all 7 cubs did in fact die?

She prob moved into Kruger, i wouldn't be hopeful that any of the cubs survived tbh..

I felt that was likely the case when she was captured on video so soon after the killing of the second to last female, without any of them.

(Also I gotta appreciate Robs patience when dealing with these guys)
Unfortunately this is the sad thing about Mapogos, they where great coalition, but some of their achivements are hardly exaggerated by Mapogo fanboys.
I know that Nhlanguleni was not killed in 1vs1 (another Mapogo fanboys claim) because he was seen after that fight with only few scars on his face, but then he disappeared from Sabi Sands and i also taught that he was finished by other Mapogos, but it looks like he did managed to survive. He was beautiful specimen of a male lion..
Truth needs to be known about these lions, no some fairly tails that they killed 100 lions in a year or that mr T was darted etc. just to make them more special, they where special without that..and thats also not fair towards other lions, people to this day think that Mapogos beat Gijima males, when in fact 2 Gijima males push Mapogos from northen Sabi Sands and made their territory there since later stages 2009.
