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.

Some more updates from the stream

Plains Camp males were chased north into Manyeleti, didn't say who by but possibly the Talamatis/Dark Mane @ 53 minutes 30 seconds

Dark Mane is back on Djuma with a full stomach @ 2 hours 1 minute

Tristan mentions the Plains Camp Males were roaring in Djuma yesterday and the day before @ 3 hours 25 mins

Mentioned Dark Mane seems to be quiet nowadays, he isn't roaring anymore @ 3 hours 49 mins

As I have mentioned in Lions of Timbavati as well as in Lions of Sabi Sands topics it is not unusual for the coalitions of around 4 years old to challange dominant males when they have numerical advantage of 2:1 or more. I wouldn't be suprised therefore if in the coming months Plains Camp males will outcompate DM Avoca and Imbali male if they decide to stick in this arena and the other two northern Avocas will remain further south.

Although I don't recognize him I believe it's the young Kruger Male since they have the same paw injury. IG story @danodonoghue28.

Thats Dark Mane.

I thought so, but the caption made it sound like the was the "lone male". The reporting from this area is a mess.
