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.

Might be some of Pretoriuskop young males based of location, as they are hanging in that corner around Phabeni /S3 road.

Hope they manage to catch them before they get shot.

Yes, unfortunately that area is infamous because of the amount of times lions have gone missing: Talamati males (Selati sons), Mangheni males, Othawa subs, and more.

Hope anti-poacher organizations can focus on this area.

While not saying it is a bad thing, in fact I actually like it quite a bit, but every time I see one of these videos with that dramatic, battle song, type of music, and they show a lion sleeping in a very comfortable position (in this case the PC Boys laying upside down), it elicits a chuckle.

That was in Lion Sands KNP, they didnt entered Sabi Sands, but these guys will be a problem in near future if they stick together, only depends which area they will try to conquer.

The old Birmingham male was wandering around Sabi Sands recently, and today he was seen in the central of @londolozi with his son Nkuhuma male.

Londolozi, South Africa.

I was wondering where they went, as the Ximhungwe pride was seen mating with the PCmales earlier.

"Torchwood pride of lions consisting of 12 individuals were seen on their giraffe kill busy chasing an unidentified subadult male away from their kill"
