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.

Can they last together for more than a week, or a meeting with the PCM's?  What would really work out for them is if the Talamati boys could join up.

Gijima males - With most of the morning spent tracking the two Gijima males, we were rewarded with a spectacular sighting. One of the males pulled a baby buffalo down, but the mother quickly reacted and chased him off. The rest of the herd realised that there was a dangerous threat nearby, and they all joined in to protect the younger members. 

The lions didn’t give up that easily and continued to follow the herd. It was interesting to observe the precision of their approach and their patience as they carefully planned their attack. Being alert at all times, the buffalo are constantly on the lookout for the lions trailing behind them. Time will tell if the lions try to strike again or if the buffalos can put some distance between them.

I thought this was the Mantimahle sons group, KM group should have some young males with manes now if they're still alive. I'm not too sure which lioness is with which group though


Nkuhuma pride females just came and chased them away

They are more opportunists than warriors so most likely they fled. 

One can hope that this time they actually stay away for good though so that the prides can move on with their lives.

It's not known for sure if they are/want to stick together as a coalition so it's too early to expect anything including resisting the dominant males without even bonding properly for that, I hope they are together somewhere but I don't expect them try something riskier for now.

I'm watching this video here and it's claimed the West Street Males are the fathers of the Split Rock males ( Scar & Tyson ), is this true?
