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.

Looks like PCMs and Ndhzengas are still not affraid of Kambulas, BDMs aswell approached them on a kill and few of Kambulas looked confused what to do.

But yea, Kambulas confidence will grow and eventually they will be ready to face their opposition.

Btw, BDMs back with Nkuhuma pride:





Mohawked male limping which might be from that carcass encounter from Kambulas.

As long as they don’t get seriously hurt, I actually feel as if this altercation will make the BDMs a stronger coalition for future battles and whatnot. Until now they’ve had it quite easy, they happened to enter Northern Sabi Sands when the Avocas were on their way out and up until now have had no real challengers. I’d say most of us believe they lack some forms of aggression and the altercations against the Kambula males, being outnumbered, might force it out of them.

@Tr1x24 PCM have chased the Kambulas and BDM recently, Ndhzenga doesn't seem bothered by the Kambula roars, indeed. But unlike PCM and maybe Ndhzengas, BDM have shown already that they can't deal with the Kambulas.

Now that they are back with the pride it is clear they are coping, like Tumbela and Avoca were. Once Kambulas make a serious move to attack them, they'll probably leave for good.

According to Daniel, the Black Dam males and Kambula males were seen simultaneously mating with members of the Nkuhuma Pride. Said to have been less than 1km apart from each other.

I think if the other Kambulas get to mate too, like K4 has done, they'll get the motivation and confidence they lack to back K4 fully.

It'd be good if the BDM could sire cubs with the Bboy daughters, and then the Kambulas would raise all the cubs, their own and the BDM cubs, once the BDM are completely ousted. Perfect scenario.

Back in Londolozi which is weird considering they just had an Nkuhuma female. Not sure if anyone can confirm but as one male is missing, I’m guessing this is the Kambula female and the other male is still mating.

Leopards kill lion cubs, and they don't exactly go barging into the middle of the lion pride to do it. If she's about then yes, she is most likely an extra threat to the cubs.
