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.

They are on northeastern border, so not unusal, lions occasionaly roam outside their core territory.

Seems like the kambula boys are pressuring them? The kambula boys are roaring in their territory. they felt the unrest and maybe trying to steer clear of the four beastly kambula boys by moving temporary down south hoping that the four kambula boys would eventually move off to a different area?

Kambulas are in Londolozi, they returned from Mala Mala.

Edited to post the  message here instead of the Othawa Pride, since the core pride is the one sired by the Tumbela Males.


Diff just wrote on his facebook page that Gingerella's 2 cubs are female!!

So, I do hope that the lone X cub is also....but he indicated it's probably male.  So he'll be a big solo boy.  (Let's see for full confirmation soon.)  I thought at least one of the 2 was female, but now it seems both are!  So, the little pride can grow bigger....but without X's blood, it seems.  Maybe she'll have one more litter in 2-3 years.

Doubt Gijimas have even noticed their presence anyways, they’ve recently made a buffalo kill near Londolozi.

Skorro young male also known as Buddy Jr, who is son of the late Orpen males Junior & Buddy. He came to @londolozi earlier this year and has made himself at home. A nomadic male who hopefully can find a partner. This beautiful male is really turning into a tank.

Wow, just as @Tr1x24 said, that young male is getting huge, definitely a mini PCM, for sure. 2.5 years old now, is that right?

Similar build to Olonkera in the MM, massive for his age and the bit of mane he seems to have is quite dark aswell.

Yea, around that age.

Not sure if PCMs will tolerate him anymore, obiviously we dont know if they meet behind the camera, but we didnt see them together in a while.

Because of his size, PCMs might not be happy with his presence.

Unfortunate for him that he’s not just the only male, but even in Sabi Sands there’s a lack of males around the same age. Off the top of my head, there’s Floppy Ear, youngest Nkuhuma male and I think 3 Talamati breakaway males. So not only would he be by himself if ousted soon, but also unlikely to be accepted by the surrounding older males.

Would be nice if he could find the other young nkuhuma boy when the time comes BUT he will likely leave with his older brothers if they are forced to leave and be a 6th nkhulu situation.
