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.

It just show me now how small the magheni males are compared Ottawa male, and  the Ottawa boy is pretty big for his age, and him and the females work very good as a unit.

They must be with the second female. Most likely she's pulling the old, flash tigh and luring them away from her sister as she knows of the cubs. 

Still, I'm not sure how long they will be able to survive, or if at all, with the Matimbas around.

Othawa Boy looks impressive. How many Mangheni sub adults are left? Last month the count was minus 1 male and 1 female. Thanks

I think the number's about the same. Not sure about the lassie seen with the Xhimungwe girls, but I haven't read anything that suggest one more died.

So the count would be eight males and one female. Plus the other female with the Xhimungwe girls, if she still lives.

im very worried with the young mhangenis. They are too young and small to live by their owns. And looks like the  othawas don't want to accept them . they just want a family for one more year. But the othawas were hostile against them.

I disagree that they dont want to accept them ... its a wait and see type of thing ... the video clearly shows the Mhangeni submitting several times ... which is ok and good ... it also shows the Othawa showing mercy ... they could have killed the ones they came in contact with easily ... its very interesting because it seems the Othawa knew they were exposed and vulnerable but let up ... why? ... I hope this leads to them grouping up ... hell, I didnt like all my friends when I first met them Wink.... Im hoping for the best

It would be something if the Othawa Boy form a coalition with his half brothers. Like Big Mak leading the sparta boys.

Are there 3 adult Othawa females? I thought there were 2 but there seems to be 3: the one with the sub-adults, the one with the new cubs, and the one mating with the Matimbas.

There are 2 adult lionesses and a sub-adult female.
