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.

So he’s really shifted his territory to the old Talamati/DM Region?  This seems quite far west than I’ve seen him?

Apparently he's on western Simbambili today close to the lodge

Very interesting, it looks like 1 of the brothers remembered this area from 1 year ago and decided to bring his brother here, and since Western SS is a mess rn, with Skorro Jr., PC males, Nhena/NYM all competing, they will add on to the madness, im just hoping that one coalition can firmly establish here soon.

Not sure I’ve seen two lions travel as much, far, and back as these two young males.    I seem to recall sightings from the most northern regions of Timbavati, The Manyeleti and to the southern areas of londolozi.   WoW.

Will be interesting to see how will PC males react to these newcomers. 

These 2 are around the same age as PC males (or few months younger), but still didnt try to challenge any territory, they are just roaming around vast areas for more the 1.5 years, for comparison, PC males are already territorial for around 1 year.

So "strenght" and "confidence lvl" of these 2 BDM's is pretty much unknown.
