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.

Wheres the 4th one?
Only 3 together for a while.
People in youtube comments constantly say he is with Mangheni pride. Not sure if that's still true though. But they have not been seen with the 4 of them for weeks. Always these 3 together. Also these 3 are bonding heavily.
There were still 5+ of them together in Timbavati last November, so hope they don't spread too thin.
Truth is this is how a lot of "upcoming" impressive young males coalitions end up. Start with a large, in this case 5 or 6, brother/cousin coalition, migrating away from the pride, end up with only 2 or 3. Or noone if things go bad. For all sort of reasons.
Lady Ximhungwe has two cubs, one of which is a male, the other unknown so far "[...] Yet it is still full of surprises - like the Ximungwe female showing us one of her two cubs yesterday. We estimate the cubs to be around six weeks old."

These 2 cubs will have hard time with their much older cousins.
I really hope for strong bond, love, health and strength for the cubs.
Hopefully there cousins may help, and with Plain camp male lions around. I really hope to see them grow with love, and strength.
Plain camp male lions are in their best shape a male can be most of the time at eight years of age. Plain camp male lions are massive, there manes have grown they are strong, and it seems Ximungwue lionesses are their love. They love spending a lot of time with them they must love them, and with their two daughters they might help the two young cubs.
Also wouldn’t Gingerella start being with plain camp male lions more time? Maybe more cubs?
I would love to see Gingerella and daughters help Ximungwue lioness the way she helped Gingerella and her daughters.
