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.

It was clear when he was a youngster. that mane of his was going to be great! So good to see him, after the recent images of BYM being alone.

He is looking really in incredible shape! He resembles Nhenha a lot as well.

Tintswalos and Mongawane must be in close proximity.

Mandevu and Torchwood are both in this sighting

Is BYM still coalition partner with Torchwood??

Even after a large meal lions are opportunistic and will not just allow an opportunity for a meal to pass by. After finishing off a Giraffe carcass the River Pride and Vuyela males took to a shady drainage line to allow their large meal to settle. During the heat of the day a buffalo had the same idea and moved into the drainage line for shade presenting the lions with an opportunity of which they took full advantage.

A formidable force in the Timbavati.  It’s incredible how much they’ve grown in the past years! They’re beasts now

I would say they are formidable in the scale of entire Kruger. Their competition with Skorro males showed that they are not messing around. I would expect that even with equal numbers those guys could square with just about anyone. As a 5 such guys they are really formidable.

Agree with you, my friend. They’re definitely a coalition to don’t mess with

Orion males are looking in great condition, they’ve grown a lot since then.

The 4 Northern BDM patrolling together on April 24, last month, credits to travel.hunter:

It shows that their split is like that of the Mapogo, although they are 2 different "groups", they still meet up and are in good terms, which is great to see since the last time I had seen them together was a long time ago when the brothers attacked the solo male thinking he was an outsider.

It's good for the solo BDM to keep his bond with the other brothers, you never know when you'll need it.
