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.

I thought it was this one

New Torchwood cubs, wow. 

I think they look like they are just under 2 months old. 
Maybe born in early-ish July imo.

Does anyone know how many adult females the pride has nowadays? This pride is often a mystery due to splits in the pride etc.

Dark Mane tried to bring down a young elephant that charged him on the Djuma Dam Cam. The Elephant's herd came to it's rescue

They are probably the largest pride in all of Kruger by adult females, 13 is just insane...

Selati was the closest match, they had over 10 around the era of the Golf Course males

This was posted on instagram 5 days ago. Unsure if it's related to when Auntie was attacked and hurt quite bad or another incident. 

There are six cubs in this pride. This lioness showing bloody battle scars has fought off male intruders during the night who would kill the cubs .There are only two cubs with her. Where are the other 4 ? We dare not think of the worst case.

I think this was reffered to when Auntie Othawa was seen injured few weeks ago.

It seems that these two are great hunters. I haven't seen them in bad shape in a long time. Of which is good, they're still young and if they has success with the hunt they'll grown quickly, big and healthy. Mantimahle blood is something else. Such big specimen of male lions.

Doesn't that mean that they are or not far from Othawa's territory again? I recall they were in that area just 2 months' ago before moving away from that area. Also, Mhangeni Pride lionesses are somewhere in the western sector..

They have been circling around the area for a while now.
I guess now Sym is death and Nym and the other nomadic males probably wont be that difficult to chase off or perhaps even kill. They will likely take Singita.
