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.

So awesome to see this. Was a lot of concern for these cats, after the Tumbelas moved in, but they look like they're handling things very well.

Oops, my mistake. Thanks for the correction, though.

Has anyone heard anything recently regarding new Mhangeni cubs? 

I recall three months' ago that one of Mhangeni lionesses had one cub and the oldest cub was seen with them. I really hope that young cub is still alive and well.

Its NK and Styx..

These 2 are quite easy to mistaken, as both coalition have 2 similar males, 1 with bigger mane and 1 with smaller, also very similar in appearance. 

But checking whisker spots its easy to see that those are NK and Styx.

Okay, to be honest, when I first saw these males, I thought they were NK and Styx then I read a comment from SS, saying PC, so I went with their comment. Anyway, thanks for clearing it up.

MalaMala April report out http://malamala.com/uploads/files/04.-MA...21-GNS.pdf

Some more info on Nhenha vs Mohawk 

"Key events from the month; a lioness was mating with a Northern Avoca male in Piccadilly Pans on the 2nd when a Gowrie male appeared onto the scene (video showed the opposite lol). When the Northern Avoca male chased the Gowrie male, the Kambula lioness moved out of the area. Once the Northern Avoca male returned north, she sought him out and proceded to 'flirt' with him. She was led north along the Mlowathi River to Senegal Bush while trying to convince the male to come back south. Her attempts were futile as the male led her into the core of his territory and away from the Gowrie males."

"The two males watched each other before tensions rose, and both lions stood and ran south, the Northern Avoca male chasing the Gowrie male. All the while, the Northern Avoca male was roaring. The Gowrie male managed to get around a herd of elephants that, distressed by a male lion's presence, prevented the Northern Avoca male from getting around them. The Gowrie male continued south to Sand Pit crossing, where he proceeded to start roaring while the Northern Avoca male moved back north, roaring and scent marking as he went. From this event, it appears the area around Piccadilly pans is now a grey area between the two coalitions territories"

Torchwood male still on MalaMala 
"The young Torchwood male was viewed on the 21st north of Fourways Open Area, trailing a herd of 250 buffalo in the eastern parts of Eyrefield on the 29th and 30th."
