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.

Also it is believed that the Styx Male killed a Kambula subadult/cub (did not say if it is female or male that is killed) and severely injuring one of the young males.
Ndzhengas really need to push him out of their territory as it seems like Styx Male is killing their cubs and is trying to take a piece of their territory. I was also surprise that the Styx Male is full blown roaring in the territory of the Ndzhengas even when he is chased away he returns back to roaring, what a confident young male hope this confidence of him brings him good and not bad luck.
Also for K12, seems like the Ndzhengas would like to keep her as he is protecting her from another Kambula lioness. Wishing good luck for K12 as being a lone lioness is hard hoping she teams up with some lioness.
I had just seen the video. I was not expecting to see all that happened. Is strange behavior very nervous and unpredictable to what might happen.
Ndhzenga male lion did not attack when Styxt male lion was on the floor. I wonder if it is because he recognize him or Styxt male one on one may be a fight Ndhzenga male lion did not want to fight?
Also it reminded me when all Kambula, Styxt male, and four Kambula male lions were around. When Kambulas were hunting and then chased the Styxt male lion. I was wondering if that was dangerous to young Kambula cubs, sub adults.
At the end of the video I do not know if it is bad or good or both. I am not sure what would be best for Styxt male and Kambula, but if he is somehow able to stay with Ndhzenga male lions hopefully it is not when and where he may start hurting the cubs. Kambulas and Ndhzenga male lions were doing so good I do not know what it means or it would mean if Styxt male lions stays. Always they have been doing good the Kambula lions, but to have just the Styxt male lions come and hurt the young cubs it is not good. If Styxt could stay and not hurt cubs anymore it would be good.
Also if that was the older Kambula lioness wasn’t that the young lioness mother? Maybe that does not matter. I am thinking does it rule out the young lioness from hurting the cubs? The Kambula lioness may be her mother but she has cubs and does not and may not want her around her cubs. It has been seen with other lionesses once they have been separated some time with cubs they may not come back together.
