Savanna IG also says Kruger Male was chased from his territory by Mantimahles, but I thought he had already started making a move for Imabli Pride before they were fully on the scene. He was for sure ousted by Kambula males, however. In a dream world these 2 find the Othawa girls and sweep them someplace a bit East where there is a bit of a hole and were able to protect them for a couple of years. But, that's definitely a dream world. 
Elephant Plains Weekly lion Sightings 14-20th October
https://elephantplains.co.za/big-5-blog/...0-october/ Monday, 014 October 2024
5 unidentified lionesses spotted twice in a week. Could be Imbalis moving in, or some other new group from Kruger. With the vacuum left by the Talamati pride it's not surprising.

Another good video by the All About The Lions Of Sabi Sands channel, giving us the state of lion affairs in Sabi Sands for September.
She claims Nkhulus are down to 5.
Interesting since both MalaMala and southern guides still says there are 6. Eventually I guess we'll find out for sure.

I fixed your post, and in doing so learned something new myself, that in order to embed Youtube "Live" videos, we must use the same process as we do for embedding Youtube Shorts. I also moved your post to the proper thread, as we do not permit creating new threads, without prior permission from a WildFact Mod. The reasoning for this, is that it is highly likely, just as is the case with your post, that a thread covering the topic you wish to post about already exists. As we try to do with all new members, I would like to invite you to read through our rules section, which I will link at the bottom of this post. I will also provide you a link to our tutorials section, as well, which will hopefully help you in learning how to do certain common tasks on the site, such as in this case, embedding Youtube Live and Shorts videos. Never hesitate to reach out to myself, or any of our other Mods, if you have any questions, or need assistance with anything else. We hope you enjoy the site, and look forward to your contributions!

Has there been any word on the other SBDM recently? I don't recall hearing much on him, since he moved up north on his own.
With all of the BDMs our there making their mark, Giraffe Male sure does have a few sons out there keeping the legacy alive. Did he have any other sons from other prides?

But as @Mapokser said and i mentioned sometimes at the Nkhulu males topic, guides still claim and insist all 6 are alive but in 'different groups'. I try not to doubt them because they are the professionals there and have all the credibility, in addition there is also the factor that I hope N4 is still alive. Such a handsome male lion and seemed to be doing better by each passing day, to go out like that while all his brothers recover would be just tragic. However, what makes me doubt certain statements made by the guides is the fact that we have seen them in such large group of 5 males on multiple occasions during the last few months, more united than ever. Still, there's not a single evidence that in these occasions N4 was part of the 5. Also what I have already mentioned more than once and fits into the previous concern: All brothers were often photographed during the past 4 months, with the exception of N4. Well, i'll keep trying not to count him out but it gets harder to by each passing day (10-21-2024, 01:57 AM)Ngonya Wrote:(10-21-2024, 01:47 AM)BA0701 Wrote: IIRC, N4 has not been seen since June 15, according to @NgonyaUnfortunately no pictures of him since june 15, yes. It is sad, for him to have gone through all of the initial trials of becoming territorial and dominant, to then possibly pass just as things appear to have taken a much more positive turn for the entire coalition. As you mention, it has been really good to see them all, with the exception of 4 of course, regaining so much condition and confidence recently, and for all of them to be hanging together like the tight knit group one might expect from 6 brothers, being seen in the same place at the same time, for the first time in months, is also very promising for this coalition, indeed. Leading many of us to be even more excited for their futures, now. 
"The Kambula pride catch a buffalo then successfully fend off the herd and the Styx male only to be chased off the kill by 2 unknown males"
The unknown males are 2/4 Kambula males (K4 & K5) (10-21-2024, 02:18 AM)Ngonya Wrote: "The Kambula pride catch a buffalo then successfully fend off the herd and the Styx male only to be chased off the kill by 2 unknown males" Wonder if K12 was present, and what sort of reaction she might get from her brothers, without FE being involved, of course. Kambula Pride never ceases to amaze, splits in half, and then the halves still grow to be enormous prides, crazy! |
