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.

Also saw the Sumatra and Hercules males with 3 lionesses from giraffe pride on a giraffe-kill. Just missed the Avocas when they crossed back into Thornybush and saw Mapoza male down south trying to coss back into Thornybush reserve.

As I said, Hercules and Sumatra are hanging with part of Giraffe pride, while Monwana male with other part, gruop with young male.

Avoca pride - Makanyi Lodge - Timbavati. Lioness with blind eye not dead as reported earlier by other guides from Thornybush. Only 9 members,  so one lioness killed by Monwana pride.Today they were trying to dig a warthog out of his burrow. They did not get him out.

Stunning and recent shot of King Xitaya “which means Scar”, of the Nharhu males, this prime coalition was originally made up of three males, but sadly one of them has recently fallen due to an unknown disease and the other two remain, the lame and this male, seizing control of some parts of Timbavati and ruling the River pride. They were able to drive away the mighty Mbiri males from their territory, which indicates that they are ready to face any challenge, no matter how strong it may be.

He has that mohawk on top of his head, while right male does have much developed mane around the ears..

Also whiskers doesnt match either, so i think its definitely not him:

Probably some male from Kruger.. 

I think it might be the young male who was seen alone in Manyeleti and Ngala around a year ago, this guy:

He kinda looks similar in face structure :

The death of Mpholo was already confirmed to be Tuberculosis Bovine, his condition deteriorated really quickly and hen sadly one night a clan of hyena killed him! Guys found very few remains but enough skin on his face to ID him. So it all happened completely natural!

Based of the motion of his leg, it looks like some kind of dislocation, which is actually good, because it was speculated that he is limping because of some disease..
