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 not in the best health and mostly seen in pair, since one has a heavy limping. I think Nk and Tym could be a fair match for them.

Tshokwanes are more east towards Nkhulu, beyond Nkhulu males.

Around, or more so south of Skukuza are KT/s36 males (not sure their current status, when was s36 last seen @Brahim ? ), also young PCM Avoca seen around, few months back he was seen mating near DeLaporte, and had a scrap/face off with KT after that,  most recently he was seen alone closer to Sabi Sands (near Kruger Gate), he also need partners. 3 Sand River young males also roam around Skukuza.

West towards S1/s65 junction are 3 Biyamitis, beyond 2 older Kambulas + Pret., 2 Renosterkoppies males (not sure on their status), 3 "new" Transport Dam males etc., prob not wise to go in that direction, but that direction are taking almost every nomadic coalition from SS who are going south, for some reason.

Im not sure of the exact location but Tshokwanes were already seen in/close Lion Sands/Kruger so i would thought it was more south?

Did Tsalala lose all her cubs? I see so many conflicting reports on it, some say there's still one or two alive.

Londolozi caused some confusion by sceduling a blog post about the firsts cubs death written before the others died until later. But Singita has backed up the chinese tourist that first reported the complete loss of the litter by stating Tsalala was seen without cubs. Making the odds of any cubs being alive very small.

HELP ME ID PLSSS (so many lions near the north LOL)
Seems like the Nkuhumas and Kambulas to me but please correct me if I am wrong. Do watch the IG Stories as IG Stories cannot be embedded.

Pride of Lions Feeding on a Buffalo. (Seems like the Nkuhumas for me.)

K12 reminds me a lot of I think it’s limping mhangeni but in a perfect world the ndzenga males would accept their son into their coalition but it’s a 0% chance that’ll happen but I’d like too see an interaction with him and one of his fathers/uncles

Interaction would prob not go well, for FE Styx, last time they where together was more than 2 years ago, he was just small cub/sub then.

I remember sighting, when Amahle visited Styxs after some time, I was June 2022, cubs/subs and females where quite afraid and didnt want to approach him, i think this was last time he was seen with them:

Seeing the Styxt I feel how beautiful it would 
 have been seeing them together. A growing family of lions. Like the Southern lioness they were not many; I remember one day I saw a picture with Styxt lions and cubs. Many cubs and lionesses. Ndhzenga male lion had cubs with Styxt and they were growing and getting strong you can see you could see happy lions. Is was good to see. It was three lionesses. Just three lioness; resilient Rollercoster daughter, and daughters. I forget if Rollercoster had two daughters or Birmingham daughter was daughter to other Styxt lioness. I was saying I did not know when Styxt was growing many cubs. Ndhzenga were doing good with Styxt. Once Gijima male lions it got difficult male lions. Ndhzenga male lions and Kambulas are doing good. Styxt is growing four young lionesses and older Styxt lioness.
