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 beautiful Othawa breakaway female eyes out some newborn buffalo calves within a large herd as they approach a nearby watering hole.

After returning to the site where the Southern Pride had brought down a wildebeest the day before, we found that hyenas had stolen the remains and the pride had moved on. After an exciting tracking exercise, we found the Southern Pride in a thicket.

Early one morning, we found the Mhangeni Pride resting in the southern section of the reserve (Sabi Sabi).

Does anybody know if both Nkuhuma breakaway females Amber eyes and ridge nose gave birth? Or just one litter of two cubs so far? @Tr1x24  I can't find info on a second litter being born.

Only Ridge Nose has been confirmed having cubs.  When Reazert, The guide was asked about Amber Eyes this week, he said she didn’t seem pregnant.

Two new males found in sabi sabi. 
One of the nwaswitshaka male found their presence and starts roaring. He stood no chance in front of these two new mmales and was forced to flee from his territory.

Last year it was relatively calm in Sabi Sabi and now it is descending into chaos

My initial thought was those males might be the sons of the Charlestons males, but was told no.

No, they are not these 2 Charleston sons:

I wonder if theres more of them, remember Sabi Sabi report from month ago saying 4 new males in the area? And that 1 is more mature one?? 

Those 2 might be from that 4, they seem pretty confident if they are only 2..

Remember those 3/4 young boys on S1 near Phabeni Gate few months ago? 1 male was a bit older with longer mane.

Do you have any photos of them?

There should be 1 more male with them, if he is still alive.

I said it before but the Nwaswitshaka males are to have a tough time controlling that large a territory whilst separated. Nhenha and his 7 sons already roam their territory like it's nothing and with all 4 being separated majority of the time, its hard to control their entire southern territory whilst mating with the Kambula females up in the north. They leave gore alone to defend their 2 southern prides and eventually they might end up being taken out one by one.
