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.

Id assume Nkuhuma knows not to hang around there carelessly after the last time he visited.

So.. what 2 males would these be now?  Nkhuma and Talamati?  I mean.. Mantimale's?  Can we please get a few less rogue males in Sabi right now?

Seems like Little Amber is injured because of the 2 Mantimahle Sons.

I suspect that this 2 Mantimahle Sons are the ones who are running quick and always looking back yesterday night at the  Dam Cam, and the lone lioness spotted also in the Dam Cam following the trail of these 2 males is Little Amber, maybe she mistook these 2 from the Kambula Males.

4 Kambulas are sighted with 1 Nkuhuma at Seefs Pan in the West of Djuma mating.

Update:
The eye is still there and it seems like that because its swollen. (from Guide Eric)

Was this Nkuhuma with Kambulas before? 
I think its time for the 4 to prove themselves. They either chase or get chased.

Yes she did mate with I think K4 or K6, maybe this lioness got separated because 1 or 2 Nkuhumas is with the 4 Kambulas and the other Nkuhumas are all together.
And as I have said maybe this female thought that those 2 males are the Kambulas as she was seen trailing them at the Dam Cam yesterday night and maybe that is why she got separated.
Also this maybe the 2 males spotted at the dam cam yesterday night running quick and always looking back. That is why I thought that if the males spotted last night in the dam cam running is the Kambulas they are acting strange because before the livestream ends all 3 males K3, K5, and K6 are together.

But who knows what is happening at them at night when they are not seen.

Man I hated waking up to seeing this, Gijimas will slaughter them if caught. The West has always and will always be the best option for these boys, it’s now much harder with PCMs spending more time over there. There’s not really any vacant prides around them to take. By the way I seen the rumour about Dzwihala being shot in the comments, never heard of it before and quite frankly don’t believe it, but I’d be interested to know who started it.

I got to see some proof on that to believe it , people tend to create theorys out of nowhere,like that one that SBDM was darted and helped by vets, without evidence its really hard to believe

Ah, yeah, I was going to say that must have slipped by me, as I didn't recall reading that. I take a lot of comments from IG and YT with a grain of salt, some really crazy claims get made on those platforms sometimes.

These two young male lion are six and eight years old. If they stay together I think they will be fine. The Gijima male lions are stronger male lions. Roars will get their attention. The Gijima male lions have been around the Nukhulus and I think is too many lions in the south. 

I was think how the Gijima male lions are around alot of lions. I read a comment how the 4 Talamatie lions are elleven cubs. Young Styxt lioness had cubs. Southern lioness and her two youngest daughters I wonder if they would be like two older lioness. Young lions with southern had cubs real young. I wonder if is the Nzdhenga family. The young Styxt male lion is three and he has a beautiful mane already getting interest of lionesses.
