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.

Is it Hildas Rock Pride?

I believe it was Skukuza/Hilda's Rock pride

He can do this, but his territory has been shrinking since N'waswitsontso have been hanging out with Imbali pride in S8's territory and RRM is also there

Whole southern Mayneleti and larger part of northern Sabi Sands (as so far Djuma is furthers north BM males are moving) is wide open. Imbali male could give up lot of ground to Black Dam males and still have plenty lands left for himself.

They are overtaking Avoca territory. They did not even made any afford to pursue Imbali male and his pride. They could, but there is limit of how large territory BM could potentially handle. It would be very difficult for them to hold land that used to be Northern Avocas land and at the same time pursue Imbali male whole way into southern Manyeleti.

Holding Avocas territory means little if Nkuhumas go nomadic, as we see, cubs group was already seen in western sector, and subadults group are mostly males and 2 sub females, who will also avoid them, leaving only Chela as potential mate.

I mean its a good start for young males, to hold territory, but if there will be no females to mate with, 2 males prob wont be satisfy with that for long, and will push further in other directions, very unlikely they will go south or west towards Ndhzengas and PC males, more likely they will push further north or east towards lone males. 

Unless, Talamati nomadic group returns back in the area, which would be a lot of females to mate with and would keep them busy.
