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.

Tsalala pride and Kambula subadults :





I guess we finally have good sighting of Kambula subadults :


*This image is copyright of its original author


In Londolozi blog over 1 month ago or so they mentioned 11 subadult members, 6 females and 5 males, i taught that was the number without 2 (female and male) from 2019 litter, as they where 13 in total with them previously, but it looks like it was with them, as on this sighting was 11 members also.. 

So by the looks of it, male from 2019 litter didn't make it, aswell as 1 of older subadult females. 

So now we have 5 males, 5 females + 1 2019 litter female ( furthest right on the photo).

Edit: 2019 litter male is alive.

I was about to post the Londolozzi link - so happy to see he Tsalala female and daughter! I wonder if the daughter isn't coming into season yet. Given how the Bboys once saved Tsalala female from certain death, would not be surprised if she is looking to mate again, but hopefully she stays away from the Kambulas this time!

Uhh no he just isn't here in this video. He was probably with his mother, the 5th lioness that occasionally sticks with them. This is him recently seen by Zali photography. Handsome boy.

A few of the Talamatis have regrouped and the guide believes they have had a recent meal.  Hopefully life in the lion world is getting back to "normal" for this Pride. The one male subadult is highlighted in the video -he doesn't seem to mind being in the sunshine!  He is one handsome young Lion!

These young but very impressive Plains Camp Males have been spending a fair amount of time on Londolozi.

After some roaring throughout the evening Dark Mane reunites with the Talamatis. This is great to see. There is a real affection between him and the Pride.

It seems the Kambula pride has devided. 3 of the Lionesses have stayed with the Bboys. All 3 have cubs. Kambula #3 has the three older cubs, Kambula #2 has four cubs and Kambula #1 has either three or four. Kambula #5 has stayed with the Sub-Adults.  Kambula #4 and the infertile Kambula #6 have stayed north with the Avocas.
