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.

Thanks for the video. I hope that these three cubs will make the adulthood as their cousins/brothers are doing at the moment. 
If these cubs survive till the indepence. Could be perhaps one of the last offspring of the BBoys. However some of the Kambula females can enter in estrus sooner or later... and the Kambula pride will increases even more on members.

Looks like styx females have finally got their pride males. One female was seen with one of the N'waswitshakas while the other two were in the company of the other N'waswitshaka brothers.

Good video of the Torchwood Pride at Malamala, including some cubs. The lions portion begins at 7:21, but if you watch the video portion before that, they got some stunning video of a herd of elephants.

The Lioness that appears on the min 07:43. It's daughter of the Matimba males. If we  guide ourselves through the colour of their eyes and facial similarities... Her should be daughter of the Matimba male (Hairy belly.)

I love this ongoing affair between the infertile Kambula female and Ottawa Male. I've never heard of a female lioness going off to find another male when she has dominant males in her territory... but may it happens more than we think in the wild.

Amore regal place for a male lion to be, I can’t imagine. The Othawa male and an Ntsevu lioness on Plaque Rock on the Sand River. The lioness was in fact watching the Tsalala pride that was on the far bank of the river. The Ntsevu female retreated a few seconds later, without having been seen by the Tsalala lioness.

I agree, it is a very interesting situation. OM is another of the approx 10 lions that I try to follow closely, simply a gorgeous specimen of a lion.
