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.

Looking for a second opinion, found a picture of the Talamatis in 2013. 

Are these two the same lions?

The cub looks like it has a small bump under the rear, so might be a male. Although sometimes the females can have a slight raised area back there

Sand River young males, sired by the Mantimahle males Sadly, they probably are no longer alive.

Well, we dont know that, they where around Skukuza in early to mid 2021, them moving off from that area doesnt mean they are 100% dead.

Yeah, I really hope so. That's why I wrote "probably" which doesn't mean 100% for certain that they are dead.

Mangheni pride still in Southern Sector. Styx pride is nearby so a clash between the 2 prides is possible. If it does happen most likely will result in the death of the last cub

Mhangeni pride has 6 adult females while Styx pride has only 3 adults. If a clash happens and there will be none of the Ndzenga males around then it would be Styx pride would would take worst end of it, not Mhangeni.

Correct, currently 6 Mhangenis are strongest force in whole Sabi Sands (if we take males out of equation) , as other big prides like Kambulas, Nkuhumas or Talamatis are all scattered in smaller gruops.
