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.

Who's this in Ngala now? My first thought was 1/2 Monwagane male, with maybe a Birmingham or Skorro lioness? Or maybe this is one of the BDM?

Seems to me that it is not a BDM as BDM's have a unique look on their manes.

To me also looks like most likely Vuyela.

Maybe its in northern Ngala.

Also, with most of Ngala being now without strong coalition, theres not much to keep them out.

Mbiris hold area further east near Orpen, idk what is with Ross males, with reports that Tyson is not seen for a while, it doesnt look they hold much, if any claim anymore.

And towards west, BBreakaways are still not fully territorial by the looks of it, them and young Monwanas.

There's another story with this male sleeping surrounded by females and cubs/subs, same sighting at Ngala:

If this is a Vuyela male, what about the pride with him? There's a subadult with a big mane there as well.

Maybe Hercules and Giraffe pride then?

Must be Mayambula pride then. It seems they are split into two now with some females hanging further north (like southern Tanda Tula) and some adult females with sub adults are hanging further south.

Damn, I didn't know Grumpy Tyson was missing. The duo has been around for so long it seemed they would always be around! All things come to end tho. I think they have been very successful.

As a duo being territorial for ~8 straight years, yea, very successful.

I am sure there have been others who have been equally successful, but I cannot, personally, think of any.

I just saw a video of Fabio Ross. Not sure if it was posted here earlier or not and I cannot find it again, too many FB groups, I'm not sure which one I saw it in. He had fighting injuries. His tail was pretty messed up. Anyone else saw this and can post it? Which coalition has been roaming in the Ross territory recently that would have done this and possibly be responsible for Tyson disappearance?
