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.

It's wonderful to see them doing very well. Her daughter even looks bigger than her, and she isn't even three yet!

The Tsalala sub-adult lioness is going to be a massive lioness. Hopefully, these two females will re-build the once a mighty and healthy pride. I hope so.

Its a bit of an angle, subadult is standing on much higher ground, but yea, she is growing fast and will be bigger then her mother eventually it looks like. 

Some Bboys offspring look quite impressive (atleast ones we can see with other bloodlines) Tinya for example, already one of, if not the biggest Mhangeni females at only 3.5 yrs of age, she is a tank.

And considering this young female's father is most probably Nhenha, there is a good likelyhood for her to inherit a bigger than average size (on top of being Birmingham pride descendant).

Princess is probably the only cub sired by the Bboys that we definitely know who her father is. The rest are theories based on looks but Nhenha is 100% her father as he was the only male that mated with and looked after the Tsalala lioness.

Twice in the last 5 days the sub adults from the Kambula pride have brought down a buffalo bull. On both occasions they were ‘joined’ by one of the Northern Avoca males! There were several heated exchanges and on this particular kill the sub adults gave as good as they got!

Wow these lions are hard steel. What are these 6 males gonna do to other lions when they get older. They stood up to their older brothers in the Nkuhuma and styx males, beat up the Black dam male and now are standing up to a male in his prime. I'm actually mindblown, what beasts. Both males and females.

Great sighting, 2 oldest and biggest Kambula young males are not affraid of him, they are also much bigger then i tought, almost the size of Mohawk.. 

Great to see how those 2 immidiately reacted when Mohawk went for their sister and attacked him:

Mohawk should be careful, Bboys might be around..he prob tried to overtake a kill from them, but that much lions are not affraid of 1 male at this point it looks like, bit if Blondie showed up also, they would prob run away. 

Hope theres more footage of this.

Yeah the 2 oldest definitely took charge. Good, they need some form of leadership. They're older than the other 3 by a couple of months and to the youngest by a year. Kambula Male #1 gave Mohawk a giant smack to the face.
