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.
21 Lions and Cubs. The Kambula Pride Seen at Umkumbe. The Kambula Pride of lions have quite a tattered ancestry fraught with warfare and complex dynamics. Complexity is a word commonly bounced around when talking about pride dynamics. There are 6 females that make up the Kambula Pride and their parents are none other than the marauding Majingilane males and the well-known Mhangeni/Tsalala Breakaways. There are 6 adults in the Kambula pride and they've given birth to two litters of cubs. There are now over 20 lions in the mega-pride, but Umkumbe guide Shaun counted 21 during this latest sighting of the Kambulas enjoying the remnants of a recent kill. Here are a few of the Kambula pride individuals and cubs together with one of their fathers, the Birmingham male lions.
Massive thanks to Shaun Atkinson for these insane images!
