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.

Also great news about the Sparta lioness
Yes, its too soon for her to be in estrus again.
I agree, I think is very soon for the Tsalala lioness be in estrus again.
I hope she will raised another generation of cubs... I wonder, If once her be in estrus again will looking again for the Birmingham males as potentially fathers of the next cubs. Interesting

SINGITA SABI SAND WILDLIFE SNAPSHOT - NOVEMBER 2020
• The Matimba male lion and young Nkuhuma male lion were sighted with a blue wildebeest kill in the north, late November. Both lions had a few wounds around their faces. The Nkuhuma Male especially had a large gash in his jaw which we believe was acquired during the wildebeest hunt.
• Very exciting to see the Styx young male lion on the property, heading from east to west and looking in very good condition.

Also:
The Mhangene Pride continue to be our most viewed pride with the full complement seen on a blue wildebeest kill just south of the Sand River on the eastern side of the property. Sadly one of the middle cubs was lost (unknown reason) and the pride composition now stands at two older cubs, one middle cub and one small cub (introduced this month to the rest of the pride). We look forward to watching the progress of these youngsters and their mothers.
The old battle scared Eyefield lioness slowly gets moving again after a short rest. If you look carefully you can see a porcupine quill sticking out of her back leg likely from an attempted hunt the previous evening.
