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.

Not sure bro. However, I read in the comments of the channel that someone told him that it was a lioness, and he ask who ever watching the video to correct him if necessary.


Per tshepo_dzemba IG (individual who filmed the sighting) it's a kudu they're feeding on not a lioness. I asked him directly about it. Will leave a link to his post for anyone that wishes to verify his reply themselves.

So if there were 15 members present this would mean the two males that had not been there are back???

Full pride compliment was

5 Adult Females
5 Female Subs
4 Male Subs
RRM

If so, that’s great news.

How many of the adult females are the Birmingham males sisters?

the original three Lionesses are all still alive (they are the BBoys sisters). they have two daughters of the Thanda Impi. the Third Daughter (and 8 cubs) disappeared back in December of 2020

No, That YouTube channel isn't a reliable source at all, a few of his videos often had a misleading title with the purpose of getting more views and followers. Would be greatly appreciated if none of the videos posted from that YouTube channel will be posted here to avoid confusion and do not harm the reputation of WildFact for its credibility, accurate info and reliable sources that always have been posted on our forum. 

The owner of that YouTube channel was banned from our forum for one of those reasons.

@Mwk85, thank you for verifying that the meal is not a lioness. At least the channel owner asked for content verification.

The girl has a beautiful round face like her mom. The boy has a beautiful Darkmane already coming out with facial features of his fathers. They are only 1.5 years old and moving into adulthood is highly certain.

Post that in Nkuhuma pride thread.

It would be great if he and nkuhuma male runs in to eachother and team up. After all they're very closely related if he is indeed jr's son. Regardless, they need eachother.
