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.

Spitting image!

The Timbavati males were born into the Jacaranda pride in 2003/4. These males were dominant in the Northern parts of Timbavati. But they also were dominant in Ingwelala/Umbabat and Ntsiri. These cubs, in fact, are from the Machaton pride and were sired by the Timbavati males.
Thank you. Are the cubs in the picture the Machaton Males. Is their natal pride extinct?
Possibly. Unfortunately, I can’t confirm if these cubs are the Machaton males. Yes, Machaton pride extincted a couple of years ago.

How old are the Birmingham Breakaway Males?
The older young male was born in 2016 more or less. Same age as the Birmingham young male. The other 6 were born in late 2017 to early 2018

Its crazy how BYM has a much more developed mane than the oldest Birmingham breakway male, despite them having the same age.
