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.
Really good news comes from Sabi Sands (Wildearth).
According Tristan Dicks. the Ximhungwe cub is a female instead a male cub.
This a very exciting update. The Ximhungwe cub has born in Jan 2020 her is approaching to his 1 year old. The Future of the Ximhungwe pride depends on this little princess.
Meanwhile this is a long way to go

I definitely think the Torchwood Pride and these males are pushing west. There hasn't been this many sightings of the Torchwood pride since the Bboys ruled the North. Suddenly the pride is being seen in Nkorho, Torchwood and even Djuma. With the Pride pushing west, it could definitely spark conflict. Not to mention the Talamati pride has been pushing South ever since the Nkuhuma have been pushing South. Interestingly enough the 2 Avoca males Mohawk and Blondie haven't seen Dark Mane for this entire year. And recently the 4 Mbiri males have been hanging out north. The Nharu male will be turning 5 soon and the 3 Mbiri are between 3 and 4 years old so they could become a threat down the line as well. So the Dynamics of the North is becoming very interesting.

I couldn't be more agree with your words mister Slayerd.
The Kruger males as the Torchwood pride can cause a big conflict with the nearby prides on a future. Without count that the 2 Kruger males have arrives to Sabi Sands to stay... At least in the last months they spent the majority of their time in northern Sabi Sands. Besides now we've having much sightings of them.

Torchwood pride and 2 males are seen that far west because of Nkuhumas and Avocas shifted territory a bit, when Nkuhumas and Avocas where on Djuma mostly, Torchwoods where nowhere to been seen.. Same goes for Talamatis.. Just normal lion dynamics..

Both males where seen with Torchwoods on a Cam week or so ago..

One of the two shy dominant males of the Torchwood and Fourways pride of lions.
Both males also were dominant around Hamilton Tented Camp and Tshokwane area.
The fathers of them still is unknown,However and hopefully rangers from Sabi Sands can help on ID them and their background from where comes

I never said it wasn't normal. I said it was interesting. The Northern Avocas can't go too far south or they clash with the Birminghams and remember DM is alone and the Talamati pride is being seen south more and more. The Kruger Males would devide the Avocas even more so if they keep pushing forward.

Really?
In my opinion he look much older than 5 years old. on another photos we can see the colour of his nose (Pink with Dark) I believe that he should be around 7+
Anyway,Any of these suggestion can be correct as not.

Othawa male is almost 6,i think they are too around that age, my opinion.. 7 yrs old lion has almost whole black nose..

Definitely not that young unless there is 2 different ages in the pride because they have cubs around 2 years old in the Fourways Pride. Perhaps 7 or 8. I do think one of the males is older than the other by atleast a year.

Theres no way that lion on the picture is 8 yrs old..
That cub of 2 yrs old is prob not theirs, they where first seen with Fourways in early 2019, in late 2018 Fourways where still with Torchwood male..

He's most probably (- +7) years old.
The Kruger males were being seen in the northern Sabi Sands for the last 2-3 years.
