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.

I wonder if they're pushing East more instead of North which is Bboys territory. We don't know their confidence levels after the Bboys chased them but it seems they are not stepping back into northern Sabi Sabi where the Bboys chased them.
Who knows,They're moving for everywhere, as well as we can seen in this picture the N'waswitshaka males have grown a lot in the past months! When the two BBoys chased them off at Sabi Sabi they not were even close in this good shape and size,Then only time will tell what they will do in a future...
Size doesn't really boost confidence, experience does and like I told Tr1, they havent been seen back in that area since they were chased. Kevin Richardson once said , Lions have memories based on experience and that is how they learn and adapt. These memories are triggered by their senses. So if a Lion was told by Kevin Richardson to not go to a specific area or do a specific thing, they won't unless instincts kick in. This behavior is simply taught by a small smack on the nose or a dominant posture by Kevin that lets the lions know what they can and can't do such as biting him. Apply this to the N'waswitshaka, the Bboys told them don't come here or I will kill you. This experience is basically telling them, don't go there, its dangerous. Unless they break the rule and decide to go there once or twice, it will boost their confidence and make them go there but if again they are met with an aggressive reaction by the Bboys, their past experience will tell them to run away. The Southern Avocas on the other hand are not telling them to go away so their confidence is rising and they are going further and further. They might end up meeting the Bboys if they go north on Mala Mala and the Bboys response will decide how the N'waswitshaka will react.
