The code that runs that part of the forum must have issues identifying my location or something. The Netherlands should be the correct one. 


Hmm. Othawa and Ximhungwe forming a pride together. Any new cubs will be raised as a mixture of the prides rather than just the continuation of one. So a new name would be fitting.
Othungwe? Ximhawa?

Or perhaps something to remember that the two prides used to be enemies in south african?

Vergewe pride. (Forgive)
Vergifnis pride. (Forgifnis)
Saam pride. (Together)
Vrede pride. (Peace)
Vriendskap pride. (Friendship)
Vyande pride. (Enemies)

Anyway. This is mostly me having some fun thinking of new names. So take it for what it is.

Do you use a VPN?

I don't recall seeing this posted, even looked back to the middle of October, but it's possible I missed it. But this is some really good footage of the Othawa cubs, scrappy little buggers they are, being lead to a kill.

Your originating country is gathered by IP V4 address, as each country has their own pool of public (routable) addresses (this is a list of public addresses assigned to the Netherlands: Netherlands IP Address Blocks - XMyIP - IPv4 IP Addresses by Country ). However, with IPV6, it is a little different, and typically VPNs have routers all over the world to help in maintaining higher speeds, and thus the public interfaces on those routers would have addresses indicative to the countries those routers are sitting in, which could likely be the cause of your IP address, and thus your registered location, changing so often. Typically your ISP would give the address your router receives that is either static (never changing hard coded) or dynamic (DHCP) with an extended lease, and those are typically private (nonroutable) addresses, so even if that address changes daily, the public address you are actually hitting the web with should not change, whatever your ISP is NAT'ing your private address to, unless using a global VPN service. Certainly the network portion of the public address from your ISP should not change, unless of course your ISP is your VPN service as well and is also a global entity.

Best way to test this, is by going to https://www.whatismyip.com/ when you are connected to your VPN and when you are not. When you are not connected to VPN, it is doubtful that address will ever change, as it is the public interface of your ISP. The host portion may change, as they without a doubt have a pool of addresses to pull from, but the network address (201.201.201.x/24 would have a network address of 201.201.201.0, and anything in the last octet, the X, would be the host) should never change when strictly using your ISP. All of that goes out the window when connecting to a VPN service.

I cannot speak to specifics, as I know nothing of your ISP's network, but this is a very high level generalization of how your originating country might change so frequently. I hope that helped, and didn't only serve to cause confusion. Apologies if I have done so. Now, back to our lion discussions, feel free to PM if you have any questions.

Click 3:42 to see two Northern Avoca Males south of the Sand River as they follow the shade under a large torchwood tree.

These two remind me of their southern brothers this year. Bold, brave and totally fearless. 

The reason why we all love following lions.

Would be good to know where they are exactly, Kambulas with cubs and Bboys territory is in western sector and across the river in MalaMala around Rattray's Camp.

Hope Bboys and N. Avocas stay safe as these guys are roaming in Londolozi.
