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.

These boys are going to be massive male lions. Their manes are filling up a lot and darkining even more. New blood in Sabi Sands is strong in all their points. Without a doubt, (If they stay in Londolozi/MalaMala) are a tremendously trouble for the BBoys and Northern Avoca males (if they are still around) Interesting times ahead.

This apperaning in Londolozi means nothing for now, even before they where seen passing thru Londolozi all the way to Singita where they clash with Mhanghenis/OM but returned back south. They where even mating with Kambula female. 

But yea, if these 4 boys decide to push north, 2 Bboys cant stop them, and 2 N. Avocas would need to retreat aswell.

It looks like N'ws are exploring in which direction they will be moving, they where seen south in Kruger, east in Kirkmans Kamp and now north in Londolozi in past months.

Of course. As I have said. (If they stay in Londolozi and MalaMala) could be a trouble for the nearby coalitions. Only time will tell.

Is it possible this subadult male is Blondie Talamati that hangs around with the females?

I think so, he has a small gash on the front of his nose on the right side which you can almost make out in this video

I was missing a mentioned of Tsalalas in that Singita update posted above (afaik they were supposed to be chilling near a camp there, hunting there as well) and indeed there should be stil on the property (from Leopards section):

The Hosana male leopard and Nkuwa female leopard have been seen mating and were chased up a tree by the Tsalala lionesses. These lionesses continue to remain around the Sand River.

I hope tey dont expand south. There's little lion activity in that area right now. It will be best for them to go North
