Thats not that one, youngest/injured male is not on the video, he is not with them there atm, as it says 6 males in total, and Dreadlocks is there. Thats another brother who is slightly limping recently, but nothing too serious for now. Injured male prob has hard time following them, he also is not ready for any serious clash/chasing scenarios, given his state. This boys already look bigger then Dreadlocks, Snip Tailed male looks to be one of the more dominant and confident ones, always leading the way, alongside Smudge Nosed male, who is biggest and oldest, with biggest mane of all (first 2 males on the video). I dont think Dreadlocks is in any leading role there, as some people say that he will lead them in war with his experience, i think he is more of a supportive cast. Overall very scary company once they get full confidence against territorial males, which will be soon looks like. If they chose Sabi Sands, years of warfare are ahead of us. 
‘6 Nkuhlus’ is what we are hearing of late. So could this be 5 Nkuhlus + Dreadlocks rather than 6 Nkuhlus? Any info on when this boy last linked up with their brothers?

It’s looking that way. The 6 boys took their own time at the end of the last year and early this year as they were passing through different territories. Now, they are feeling and testing the strength of territorial males. There is no way Dreadlock can accelerate this progress by leading or pushing them into wars by saying, “come on, we got this”. If they are not ready, they will simply run away. Yes, that pic of Snip tailed boy and his brother there looks scary.

Otherwise they would be a good candidate for a take over. They have plenty already 2+ years old, too. There are at least 4 Sand River subs well over 2 and I'm not sure about the Plains Camp Pride, but there must be at least one litter much older by the S. Avocas since one of their sons killed a female Styx Sub. (05-11-2023, 07:21 PM)Cath2020 Wrote: They have plenty already 2+ years old, too.

Yes, this is 2nd gen of offspring in Plains Camp pride, out of first, i only know of 1 male and 1 female who where recently in Sabi Sands.

Isn't Lions Sand close to the the heart of Gijimas territory? I'm very worried now, things are looking very ugly. And holy cow all the Nkhulus totally dwarf the prime DeLaporte male, they completely surpassed him since the first time they were in SS, I'm dumbfounded by how small Dreadlocks looks in comparison. Mantimahle blood is no joke. Though it's interesting that one Nkhulu is not with them, still it hardly makes a difference.

And the Nkuhulus look to be straddling the LS and KK region. So they’re in both GIjima and S Avoca lands. Styx, Sand River, and SP are in the danger zone and should be on alert.

This was filmed over the river, in Lion Sands KNP, which is not territory of Gijimas. In this area, around northern Skukuza , Nkuhlus hang for quite some time now, this is "empty" area, without constant presence of territorial males, or prides, one of the reasons why they hang there in the first place. But recent encounter between Gijimas and Nkuhlus happened in Gijimas territory, where they managed to chase them south. Week or so ago they ventured into S.Avocas territory, also where chased.

There's a video of 4 Nkhulus loudly roaring. They'll make their move at any time now IMO, be it against Gijimas, Avocas or somebody else but I don't see them not trying in one or two months from now.
