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.

I thought I read that young male was identified as S8's son from the Imbali Pride.

Interesting aside, a couple weeks back I saw a video of the young Wonky Eyed male, doing his usual thing in eating with a different group of lions. Very interesting, and quite resilient male he is. The reason I mention it, is the guides actually referred to him as the Wonky male, leaving the eye part out (I never saw an issue with his eyes myself, either), so it seems you may have named a lion my friend!

Nah it was our boy, I think the guides in the north have just called him an Imbali male for a while now (Probably given that information by WE viewers).

Tbh that name was meant to be a joke on wildfact, I didn't really anticipate it being used anywhere else lol

His journey is certainly not a normal one. When S8 ran up on him, he didn't even flinch, just kept right on eating. I love reading and seeing his exploits, I am so impressed with how well he is doing, on his own from a very young age, eating with any other lion that happens along, like that's just normal lion life.

Torchwood breakaways on the cam last night heading north into Torchwood - Looked like two lionesses and 10 cubs together + one cub falling behind

Ximhungwe lioness heavily pregnant. Can't say I have high hopes of them (cubs) making it, unfortunately.

Indeed. Unless the PCmales finally take down Nym and Skorro, its doubtfull they will even last long enough to be seen on camera. 

Its best not to get to attached.

Hopefully all the males think the Cubs are theirs and leave them alone. I do think of the plains camp see that they have Cubs they may hang around for longer…protect the area for the lionesses and Cubs. 

Any news of tsalala princess?

@"Timbavati" if I can be honest considering his age he is hardly gaining much more weight and isn't any bigger than the Kambula female in height and length.

When I first saw these BDM I thought they would turn out to be big considering how huge their uncle was, but in the the end, imo, they are just average, at least these 2 from SS are.
