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.

But this boy following NKs doesnt match neither of 6 Monwana boys based of pictures.

Unless thats 7th, more younger Monwana boy.

This boy following NKs looks very young, Monwanas should be the size of SBDM.

Is it a stretch to think that it might be one of the Torchwoods either from the Matinmahles or even Kruger Males?
Also I´m quite suprised that we haven´t talked about Southern BDM/ Avoca coalition arriving in Sabi Sands
For me the best news this year, not only we get to see them more often if they stick around but theres hope for the other S.BDM
Bigger Southern BDM looks fantastic and how old is the young Avoca? around 5 I guess?

Not sure what I think of this (indeed very young) Monwana male hanging with Nkuhuma's. Yeah he was seen mating but probably no intentions of becoming territorial yet, all he now does is eat from the pride's kills and he can become a danger if cubs are born (from Kambula's?) in short term. I don't see it as a good opportunity for NK young male either, other than the possibility of becoming pride male of the pride he was born in? So it'd be best if the Monwana leaves and links up with his brothers, who are indeed now closer to him, that is good news. Speaking of his brothers, they have potential in Manyeleti, with the Mbiri pride being more or less vacant. 

Lots of 'coulds' in here but curious what you guys think

She is the litter mate of K6 and was born in May 2019 so she’ll be 6 in a couple of months :)

He was not mating, it was NK young male.

Also this Monwana looks younger, but he is same age as rest of older ones, from early 2021 generation:

Pictures are from August 2024.

Looks like his development kinda stagnated, prob due to stress from nomadic life.

I think that left boy was killed, right boy (same boy as on 2nd photo) might still be with the pride, as I think he is not part of the 4 who went in Sabi Sands.
