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.

Mapoza male there. Guide said at the beginning that some other coalition is pushing on the Mapoza's male boundary and those males are more musscular than Mapoza. One could wonder if which male coalition was she talking about as quite a lot of them there are in the arena - most notably Birmingham/Torchwood and Sumatra/Hercules, but also Black Dams and Monwanas if guide could mistaken them for dominant males.





There also some young male. Guide say that he is from Giraffe pride, but to me it rather looks like one of the Monwana males:




I think the young male in second video is young giraffe male, son of black dam male. He should be 4 yrs old. He is a lone male and nomad. 
Monwana ( 2016 batch, sired by BDM) was a loner nomad until he join with 3 monwana males ( 2018 batch, sired by trilogy males). These 4 are coalition partners now. 
Dunno which pride they control.

The male lions - Hosi and Socha - have been on the move this week! They covered some major ground from the southern to the northern ends of their territory overnight, possibly rooting out potential incursions from other males. Luckily, guide Emily found their tracks and picked them up on their way through the property taking a long "catnap" and getting ready for the road again! These gorgeous boys never disappoint

Birmingham Young Male and the Torchwood Male on this afternoon's drive. Both looking good.
Birmingham Young Male almost walking without a limp now. Although he has some bite marks on his front shoulder and spine again.

I’m not 100% sure but he makes it sound as if they’re new.  Earlier this week He had said they had been in the “west” so maybe they ran into “trouble” there.   But it’s only my speculation :)
