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.

Dominant N'ws is mating first while others waiting their turn:

This is excellent news,i expect that N'ws will start to become dominant males around Sabi Sabi area and alone Southern Pride female will get much needed protection if she gives birth..

2 Bboys pushed them further south, but with having a mating female around, its expect that young males wont give up so easly..

They are a bit undersized for now but in a few months the BBoys will probably find it harder to push them out. Also, I think they will be attracted to larger prides and with four young males any take over will likely be bloody for cubs and lionesses. Small prides of one or two lionesses probably won't satisfy them for long.

Yes, agree with all you said. 

In a half a year to a year this boys will be big enough to beat any coalition of 2 males. 

Best outcome for Bboys is that N'ws dont invade north, and right now they are doing right thing, try to intimidate them while they are still not that strong/confident, showing them that further north is their land.

But in future if they decide to go north and try to takeover Kambula pride, that would be bloody disaster unfortunately, i dont see Bboys giving up their territory without a fight, in which they cant win..

Good to see them getting more confident. The two younger guys need to put on some weight. They look very undersized or are too young.

Dang! If that's how their father looked, these boys are destined to become fearsome beasts.

It seems the male with the stomach wound is not in a good shape and it seems that he wont make it.

Lion Sand rangers said he has infection,but thats expected in open wound, as we know he might have it for months now, he doesnt look any worse as he did before,we'll see.

Yes, i just have read that info from them, well maybe is just a ranger feeling, we all know Lions are for sure very resilient so i still believe he will make it... but that wound must be traumatic for him, like he have a part of his stomach in outside.

Btw yet about size of those lions from Sabi Sabi. They indeed are smaler than Birminghams.

https://www.sabisabi.com/blog/22984/a-week-in-the-bush-vol-306/

"Our rangers headed out one morning and were witness to something quite amazing – two male lion coalitions chasing one another.  One coalition comprising of the two Birmingham males who are considerably bigger, older and more dominant; chasing the four young, less experienced, and smaller males of the N’waswishaka male coalition…  Tyron summed up the sighting in his blog, “A whole lot of roar”."
