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.

Could it be that the Limper Tumbela was caught alone, or was it those scratches caused by Nhenha and Nkuhuma, are not such significant marks, but it shows that they have found someone.

Both Tumbelas where seen after that, if Limper was caught, i dont think he would manage to get away alive.

Dont think NK and Nhenha where involved (not sure if they are even in the area still).

Prob Othawas did it to give cubs advantage to run.

When was this taken actually? 

Its Kambula #2 and 1 of the littermates, they should not be together in past weeks.

From the instagram, three guests visited Umkumbe over Easter weekend. Their first post was on the 17th

It's #2 and #5. There was a video of #1 and #2 with another young male in Singita last week. It looked like #5 but thought it could just be my mind playing tricks on me and it was just #6. Makes me wonder where #6 is, hopefully he is alright. Hoping all six join up now.

Idk, but this male #5 should be with other gruop of 3 "littermates" , seen in western sector few weeks ago :

And now he is with male #2, but 3 littermates where seen back south at Sabi Sabi over the weekend, so maybe boys mixed up again.

6th is definitely around as at the same time both gruops of 3 where seen week ago. 

Also, pls post about this boys under "Bboys sons" thread

If that one is the male cub, that could be quite a bonding experience.

Both of the separated cubs were girls.  The boy was seen with the pride on their kill.

Yeah. 
That seems most feasible one. 
It might be possible that 3 othawa girls have fought with that PC male ( blood was seen on whoose mouth) .Is the news confirm that limper and the sixth cub is alive? Have they been seen after that intrusion??

So far there havent been any reports of wounds though.
So unless Limper, Nym or Nhenha suddenly show up with wounds. I am willing to believe its unrelated or a trick of the light or sonething.

Well still a bonding experince I guess but besides Limper possibly becoming her favourtie "dad" it would have no impact whatsoever.

The imbali s8 male seems to go through life pretty unscathed, is he in quiet area or just very good at being a lone male with a pride?
