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.

Two females were seen on Ngala a few days ago. I have been working some comparison and apparently were from the Mbiri pride

I was just about to ask about those females. Thanks for looking into that.  It seems like the Mbiri Pride are not going to accept their sons/brothers and are going out looking for new males. I feel for them… they’re in a really rough position.

Rudi Hulshof regarding BDM size: 
I can tell you that the BDM was considered the biggest at that stage and heavier than many they had weighed in history. I cannot tell you exactly how heavy he was though.

The limping Monwana male was seen this week. His sons from the Giraffe pride are still doing well.

There was an oldest female cub who eventually died, she was in bad condition for many weeks. 

The newest three cubs were born in middle june. Information provided by Royal Malewane ranger in a long talk

The bigger Mbiri male. A true beast of male lion. I haven't seen another lion with tufts on the elbows, except for the Matimba male Hairy Belly. What a gorgeous mane, It guess could be due high level of testosterone among other possibly theory.

Certainly one of the most impressive males of all the kruger at the moment, I don't really like rankings on these animals, but he sure is at the top or next to him.

Hairy belly could be the actual father of this Mbiri male. I know that the Matimbas sired Mbiris, but I think Hairy Belly was the specific one who sired this Mbiri male due to their resemblances.
