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.

Dark Mane has been on the move as he looks to rejoin with the Talamati Pride. The Pride is following the Buffalo herd which has gone to the Manyeleti Reserve.

So wonderful to see the Othawa breakaway back in SS! No news on jr and other male subadult yet. I really hope they are somewhere nearby, though.

Wonder if they split, on the latest sighting from Kruger, near Phabeni Gate, only Junior and 1 subadult male where on photos, and now female and another subadult back in Sabi Sands..

I think its very likely that Junior and 1 subadult male are still in Kruger unfortunately..

This male was seen with Junior near Phabeni Gate, almost 2 weeks ago, its not the same who is now with Gingerella in western sector, i think this male with Junior is one who was more developed:

@Tonpa Just received a msg from Aidan:

"No idea where the other two are. Still am looking for them, though"

Most likely all four members moved together into Sabi Sands. Hopefully, they did that...

Good to see the Talamatis and Dark Mane have reunited. The subadults look amazing. Avoca bloodline.

I think its just Limper. He seems to be spending more time away from the others which seems to be doing him good. 

I would not be surprised if he ends up taking over the Ximhungwe or Tsalala pride end ends up leaving the Tumbellas and Othawas altogether. (Or at least until someone stronger than him shows up and he flees back to his brother. Which wouldnt take much.) Its been a while since we got any updates about Scar though.
