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.
Well if we go with ideal scenarios to ger everony live happily ever after, let's go full utopian and bring up the Schrödinger's Sparta youngster somehow coming from dead and wandering there as well joining others. I'm just happy nobody else is newly missing atm tbh.

The Ximhungwes ended up leaving after being massacred by the Othawas. And the Mhangeni, even if they don't attack themselves may attract trouble in the coming months.
Ideally all those lone lionesses join up to form a new pride. But sadly just two joining forces is extremely rare. Let alone 4.
Northern Singita is empty and open for the new pride to settle there. This is the spot which for years was Ximunghwe pride territory untill demise of the pride in 2014.

Tslala female alone from 7:54, they mention her stomach is big, either from food or pregnancy and that she's mated with the Birmingham males, and the othawa male (and mohawk)
What’s next for the subadults of the Kambula pride? With new cubs in the pride (and more on the way) the lionesses are becoming increasingly more aggressive towards them. The young males have bared most the brunt but the young lionesses haven’t been completely spared either.
The two Tsalala females were seen a long way out of their usual range on top of a beautiful large boulder within the Sand River very close to Dulini River Lodge.
This pride which is filled with a rich history is now just down to two, mother and daughter. The job that this lone mother has done in raising her daughter in an area with much larger lion prides than themselves and an area known for its large hyena clans is quite remarkable.
Hopefully they will find a bit of breathing space up here in the north western part of the reserve and the fortunes of this pride can change.
Styx lionesses with their seven cubs around a kudu kill which they made. The mothers appeared to be at their wit's end with their procession of cubs. After feeding, especially on a meal that this kudu bull would have been, it is common that lion will lie down and sleep... This was not possible for these mothers whose relentless cubs attempted to feed every time they tried to rest their heads. 24/05/2021.

In the early hours of the morning, the four N'waswishaka male lions were seen patrolling down a road. As they moved, they all began to vocalise. Eventually one of them stopped and turned back to see how far the rest of them were behind.
Doesn't it look like the oldest and the youngest are the mothers of these 7 (just based on these pics)? If so, hopefully the middle lioness has cubs stashed or on the way too.
It doesn't concert the recent event but it concern North of Sabi Sands, when Matimba take over Nkhuhuma pride around 2010 it was said that Nkuhuma was with Dozie but we found also video, report of Nkuhuma pride at the same time with the Gijima males until 2011...
It was a breakaway ?

Matimbas where never with Nkuhumas in 2010.. They came after demise of Gijima males in 2011..
Dozie was with different gruop of Nkuhumas then Gijima males, they where in southern Manyeleti, that gruop become Talamatis, Matimbas tookover that gruop first.

Any of Gijima males' offsprings made it to adulthood?
Did Matimbas kill any of Gijima males' cubs when they took over Nkuhuma Pride?
