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.

Tristan mentioned on the drive this morning that Dark Mane is apparently headed towards Londolozi and isn't far from there, he didn't say exactly which property he was on.

Sunrise Drive 18-09-2021

We had 3 talamati girls, one being Silver eye and the other two being those two "breakaway" talamati girls. The old female with the cubs (who at this point seem to be gone) and the younger adult lioness who was with her

Later on we found Dark Mane back in Djuma, not sure why Tristan said he was on his way to Londolozi, but he's not a fan of Dark Mane so maybe it was a bit of hyperbole

These are three Talamati Lionesses that were see with the Imbali Male. We are told one of them has a wound that came from hyenas. The rest of the Talamatis are said to be more in the west. Whether these three have split off  by choice or chance remains to be seen. Since they are here it would appear they are looking for the rest of the Pride but time will tell. This whole Talamati situation is unclear as to what is going on.

Note: It's Silver Eye that has a wound that came from hyenas.

Tristan is not much into lions, he is more of a leopard guy, but DM was seen on Arathusa after encounter with Imbali male, so his claim was correct tbf..

This "Smudge Nose" female is one of original Torchwood lionesses, her origins are unknown (possibly Nkuhuma breakeaway's) , and is not sired by Matimbas, as she was born around 2009 or so. 

Smudge Nosed female in 2012, when Matimbas still didn't control Torchwood's :
