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.

He rules over in a very large territory. I think his territory is second largest in whole SS, Manyeleti and timbavati combine, after Nwaswitshakas. 
He seems to be lucky. On one end he has RRM, who himself is a line male. RRM has to dealt with all the heat from 3 tintswalo males. 
On South, imbalu male had DM avoca who again was never interested in intrusion, and now he left. Next to DM, Mohawk and Blondie are never interested in northern area since ages so yes Imbali is lucky guy.

The breakaways is two younger lionesses (selati girls) and one older one. I'm not sure if she's as old as silver eye and the other older girl. She might be a matimba girl

She is Matimba daughter.

Oldest as Silvereye is with Nkuhuma subadults, not sure if she is old as Silvereye but definitely older then 2012 and Matimba offspring.

This is the current selati female in january 7th 2016. How old do you think she looks? Litter of 2 cubs sired by fourways males. Charleston males had just taken over the pride too.
