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.
Talamatis continue roaming, they are Londolozi now, DM with them, but indeed it looks like that Darkk Maned young male is missing, but they are moving back south it looks like so they should find each others soon :

Got ousted by Mantimahles, after that seen with Hildas Rock male for short period and then disappeared, speculations that Mantimahles got him but no evidence, he was quite old at that time, over 10 yrs old.

The only thing I know was junior was far more big and have much more mane than currently 3 yrs old talamatis/ kambula triplets.
Basically he has/ had all the characteristics of his elder brother nguvu/othawa king
From this distance its impossible to tell, also quality is low, neither of 3 Othawas has some unique features which would be spotted from that distance.
Also at this point 2 mini Matimbas would pretty much catch Junior in size, as they are over 3.5 yrs old by now.
If we get better photo of Junior, he would be quite easy to recognize.
It could also be Junior + perhaps the remaining Minimatimba and new guy(s) joining them forming a new coalition, anything is possible. Even if we manage to identify Junior that does not necessarily mean his companions are from Othawa pride (it is likely one is, if it is them in the first place, whether the other managed to find that is quite an assumption, chanced they have a new friend with them don't seem much lower).
The young Othawa female has been spending more and more time with the unrelated Ximungwe female, instilling hope that the unlikely pair will become a more permanent couple.

Both are very old prides so if they are related along the way, it would have to be more than just a few generations.
Yeah, I mean predating the formation of Tsalala pride likely. I believe I ran into it being mentioned when around the ime Majingilane taook over Selatis, one of the displaced sub-adults, a female, was accepted into the other (X.) pride (still perished later). I can't completely ruled I mixed it up with Tsasala's origin but I don't think so.

It was the Othawa pride. I don't know if the subadult was the current Ximhungwe lioness or one of the two that died however. Though at that time there was also a southern pride lioness that occasionally joined the prides.
