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 posted in Nkhuma thread but 2 of the Kkhuma girls found K4 still in Simbambili.  I really hope they don't get found by the PCM's.

I get triggered when they call the Talamati YM, Msuthlu. He’s NOT. he’s never been part of that Pride.

This would be like the Birminghams being called Nharus or the Mangheni males being called Kambulas.

Ok….,RANT OVER! Lol

So, PCM's are back west, or moving there (1 with Ximungs, other moving that way), 4 Nkhuma's with Khanya (if that's true), K4 still in Djuma, and BDM's lurking somewhere in a ghostly fashion as well.  Still a big mess, and K4 shows no signs of going back to his brothers.  Can we just now stop and let the Nkhuma's regroup?

Personal opinion that some double posts are ok as long as they relate to the thread subject. When I was a newbie reading the threads was a lot easier with those cross posts as it was easier to connect different situations.
With the accidental deletion of the talamati thread a double posting would help preserve all that info, pictures and posts.

How about this, I will share the twitter post you shared, giving you credit, in the new Talamati thread, that way the post is made in both correct threads, and no rules are broken. Does that help?

Nevermind, @T_Ferguson, @KM600 posted the link in the new Talamati thread. So, that no rules are broken, I have deleted your post here, but no worries, we're all good my friend! If anyone ever runs into a situation where they believe a post belongs in two threads, feel free to contact myself, any of the other Mods, or just about any other member of the site, and I believe there should be no issue getting it added to the second thread without breaking the site rules.

Such a thing will not happen again, as that one just happened to occur right in the middle of a site migration, a rare occurrence in itself, before the ability to restore deleted threads available.

Question so when it comes to lions and their offspring do lions act different if they are rubbing heads with their mother rather than an aunt or is it the same or does it just depend on the lion

I've never noticed a difference, but maybe, as you mentioned, it does have to do with the individual lions, and how receptive they are. As, we sometimes see cubs headbutting pride males, and then there are the grumpier sort with which they don't rub heads with at all.

Thanks I saw a video of tinya and her son she was very affectionate towards him just made me think would he do that with one of the older girls or is that just something he’ll do to his mother
