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.

Massive Torchwood pride all together in the north Sabi Sands 2 weeks ago, when Nkuhumas with Avocas where in MalaMala:

By the pics there was atleast 13 individuals. This is one of the most mysterious prides in Sabi Sands so this is great sighting of them.

It was rumored before that they had few cubs, but they prob lost them by now,no rumors/sightings of cubs for months now. 

They where all together now, but they often split into two gruops, older lionesses stick together, and 3/4 younger ones often hang out with Torchwood young male, they will most likely split eventually. 

4 of them and young male are right now in MalaMala.

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!

The Last Future of the Tsalala Pride at Londolozi 
The fast flowing Sand River doesn’t deter the Tsalala female from leading her cub over at Finfoot Crossing, a route she would have taken many times over the years.

Styx young male will be a beast, you can see the size difference already between him and lionesses, looking foward to see his path in future.

I think the Styx are great and the way they are avoiding problems is amazing, but for this male, they are not going be there forever, the hard life is not began yet.

Well as for any alone young male. Not having dominant pride males certaintly will help him to stay with a pride as much as he wants, until hes ready, Torchwood young male is in similar position, unfortunately for Nkuhuma young male he wasnt that lucky, he was kicked out by Avocas and now is on its own, he will need to survive until hes big and strong enough to become a king.
