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.

Yes. But if they're in the northern vicinity, and when they roar they don't notice a roaring back, then they are going to investigate it and take advantage of it.

So are these the 3 younger Avocas then?

yes

News just in from safari: the Southern Pride has been seen in the South of our reserve! We picked up on tracks of some lions this morning and spent a large part of the day tracking these lions and finally located them!
There were 7 members. Six from the Southern Pride and 1 unknown sub adult male who seems to have joined the pride.

I guess Unknown male is most likely Mhangeni

A large pride of sub adult lions was certainly in need of a much-needed meal and were showing a variety of injuries incurred in the quest for some food.

They look pretty bad ... if there was ever a group that needed some luck its these subs ... hoping luck finds them in the form of a series of nights with successful meals

Is there a possibility for the 2 avoca males to join their 3 brothers? Because 5 of them they would surely confident in taking over northern part of Birmingham territory.

Yes, is possible, but very hard because the Bboys countinuously patrol and explore the territory.

Inexperience showed as a pride of sub adult lions took on a herd of buffalo. After attempting the hunt, the herd turned on the lions sending them scattering in all directions.

There was also this comment by James Souchon in this week's Week in Pictures from Londolozi.

http://blog.londolozi.com/2018/04/20/the...tures-331/

Lion dynamics continue to enthral us, and as we bid farewell to the Scar-nosed Majingilane male and reflect on the incredible reign that this coalition had, we can’t help but wonder what is in store for the Birmingham Males and what their future holds compared to the dominance that came before them.

A few days back also saw the return of the three Tsalala Males who were seen in the company of some of the Mhangeni sub-adults AND a Birmingham male, who were all feeding on a impala that had been stolen from a male cheetah. When questioned as to what had happened during that sighting, Don Heyneke’s only remark was, “I have no idea what just went down!”
