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.

Not neccesarly, after 2 Bboys chase N'ws, after they run away, all 4 of them where roaring..

Plains Camp males also where seen few times roaring,and they too where beaten/chased by Bboys..

So that doesnt mean that they are ready to fight.. 

We dont understand every actions lions do..

Takeovers last for few months, this males are here just few days, so lets not overract that they are trying to takeover somebody..they might just move away from that area which young nomadic males do..

In theory yes, but obviously if they would try to take over they would not hold themselfs to such small arena as northen Singita, but would move further towards lands of Othawa male and/or Matimba male.

"Those 3 males at their age will most likely run when they see HB and any other dominant male"
"They would run at the sight a dominant male, they would be overwhelmed even though they can physically probably take HB on."

So I would have though if they would not roar. That thay do is showing that they have confidence to already fight for land. Other way they would just be quiet and enjoy northen Singita without bringing atention of nearby dominant males.

Roaring doesn't mean they are ready. Young males stupidly roaring is what gets them killed half the time, it could be just testing the waters or communicating with each other.

Mhangeni pride in western sector:





All 6 lionesses but no Othawa male, he might be busy with 3 unknown young males in Singita, as he was seen few days ago there with the pride. 

Also 1 of the females has suckle marks it looks like:

Marlon du Toit: " From the earth we are made and to the earth we will return. Constructed from the same matter, we are forever linked to the animals that roam the planet alongside us. No matter who, no matter where, no matter when. It’s undeniable. There exists a deeper connection that binds us all together.

Look into these eyes. Tell me what you see?
Me? I don’t see anything. I FEEL. I look into those amber eyes and I am instantly connected to the majestic being. I can’t look away for his gaze is spellbinding. As if we’ve met before.
More now than ever, as our human planet is brought to its knees, we need look to the elephant bull, to the mighty jaguar and to the king of beasts. They’ve persevered alongside the biggest plague of all - us. So far, they’ve survived and I trust that they may inspire us to so the same.
Little deeper today, but hope that was for someone out there. "

Fine specimen this lioness, daughter of Rollercoaster males and sister of young Sparta males Cleo and Leo.

Its shame that Sparta pride came to this, but after Majingilanes abandon them, there just wasnt stability in the pride, as there wasnt strong coalition controling them, and future of the pride, Majingilanes daughter who died few months back was infertile, aswell as being pressured by bigger prides Mhangenis and Kambulas who took their original territory..

They are in the area very lion activity is not that high, so theres a good chance that this lioness raise her daughter, ofc if her age will let her..

Kambula pride in MalaMala :

They've been pretty active thru the night, they first chased 4 young lions (prob Plains Camp) to the south, and then have confrontation with Fourways Pride to the east, chasing them back into Kruger.
