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.

Skorro is turning into stunning specimen, very brave boy, but i dont think thats smart, trying to challenge 2 males by himself, Ndhzengas are also not far away, so BDM's are not the only ones he needs to worry about.

What’s the background of this new Skorro male? I’m not familiar with this lion.
His tryst with the young Talamati lioness definitely gave him confidence!

He was born into the Skorro Pride sired by the Orpen Males.  When the Orpen abandoned the Pride to move to the Koppies and Mbiris, the New Males came in and he left the pride with a few lionesses and siblings as a Skorro Breakaway but his brother disappeared.    

Once he became independent, The lionesses returned to the core pride and he’s been nomadic since.    Has been everywhere in timbavati and Manyeleti and has these long periods of ghost then pops up in different places.  Lol.  

North Sabi sand this time.    

Here are some videos of him with the breakaways when younger.    Including his brother.

From Skorro pride, son of Orpen males, Buddy and NK/Matimba Junior, born in early 2018.

Around early 2020 he and his younger brother, few sisters and 1 adult female formed Skorro breakaway, to run from Hercules/Sumatra males and later Mbiris who took Skorro pride.

That lasted for ~ a year, meanwhile his brother disappeared, and he is now alone for ~ 2 years, roaming Timbavati/Ngala areas.

This is him fighting 1 of Birmingham Breakaways boy in Timbavati few months ago :





He is one heck a survivor, basically "Timbavatis Nkuhuma male"

Fourways Pride and Mantimahle Sons in eastern Mala Mala.





Apparently both males were there but one was nervous of the vehicles. I know the Fourways pride is elusive and difficult to keep track of, but anyone have any idea which males the lionesses might be daughters of? Obviously the Kruger males were dominant for a while but I'm not sure how old daughters of theirs would be be now.

Kruger males sired offspring in mid to late 2019, before that there was 2 females sired by Matshapiris and old female sired by Majingilanes.

Not sure which are still alive atm.

If thats indeed Fourways pride and not Torchwood breakaways, these young females we see should be Kruger males offspring.
