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.

SYM was with the elder Kambula female from the Kambula pride, the mother of K12 female and K6 male.
Kambula pride has chased SYM and K12 already recently, if ( unsurprisingly ) not even her sisters and mother accepted her after so long, her aunts from the Ntsevu pride won't. It was K6 female who originally chased K12 when she tried to rejoin as a sub, back when Kambulas were a single pride.
Anyway, best thing for K12 right now would join forces with the Talamati female.
And as for SYM, I doubt his fathers even remember him, he'd be seen as a random young male and probably killed if Ndhzengas are in bad mood.

According to the information in the post the Kruger male was seen trying to mate with Nkuhuma lionesses. Southern Black Dam male is said to have been with the subadults.

Well then, that didn’t last long. Looks like the cub is already in serious danger. Got a lot of respect for the Kruger Male, trying to claim the North as a lone male is pretty much impossible unless he takes territory on Sabi Sands / Manyeleti border like S8 had and then maybe it could work, but u still have Kambulas lurking even then.
I hope he gets to successfully sire atleast one more litter, great genes to pass around.
One thing that wasn’t mentioned in that message from the Skhu report, ‘he’s been good to the BDM and NK YM.’ Guessing this means he’s tolerating their presence while also trying to court the Nkuhuma females, which is surprising given him being very vocal and showing acts of dominance. Maybe the lions in the area don’t see the BDM as an established pride male (which he isn’t but I wouldn’t expect them to know that straight away) despite his presence with the pride, but more so as an outcast and nowhere near a threat.
