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.

Huge party in the West rn. I’m interested to see how an interaction between Khanya / NK and the Monwana boys would go.

These two are actually the most impressive coalition is Sabi Sands atm, not because of their size as they're definitely not the biggest, but in behaviour shown. Both males were two very dominant, aggressive males with their partners but had such a smooth transition from a rough nomadic experience to then trying to become dominant again within such a short timeframe after finding each other. The type of bond they seem to have is in no sense normal, almost like they were with each other from the get go, even some actual brothers don't share this type of bond, such as Kambulas. I mean in the last two months or so, they've had atleast two altercations with the PCMs, one with both PCMs after killing atleast one Tsalala Pride cub, and the other chasing most likely bigger PCM from Londolozi back West.

They've had atleast one interaction with Mantimhale males after they lost an Nkuhuma female to them, but it was clear they atleast put up a fight, as seen with Mantimhale injuries, and clearly aren't scared to get into further altercations with them as seen with them roaring above. I've always thought Mantimhales were the coalition who injured K5 and likely chased his brothers, but it seems most ppl now believe it was the veterans themselves, and ye I know it's the Kambulas, but still an impressive feat nonetheless. I doubt they will accept anymore members, but it would be great if they spread their genes one final time, unforttunately even if they can take a pride it'll be a huge ask for them to be around long enough to protect their pride until the youngsters are ready to leave.
