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.

N'waswitshaka males

Four strong. I remember seeing these four young males for the first time. They had mohawks for manes; one of them had a what seemed like a broken hip and the other an injury on the stomach – a beautiful bunch of misfits. Eighteen months later they are still going strong as a coalition kicking down doors and taking names. We have seen them mating with a few females in the area and l hope their offspring will be as resilient as their sires.  As for the mohawks, they are fully grown manes that boldly state DO NOT MESS WITH US!

Yes, he got that injury around August 2019.

But he is fine as you see, a bit underdeveloped to his brothers, but fine.. He is actually the biggest of the 4..

He is the tallest, not biggest. He could have been the biggest but he is much less developed. The Dominant male seems to be the biggest. And even though he is taller, Wide Nose and Orange Eyes seem much healthier and bulky. I dunno how but hopefully he builds himself.

Nwaswishakas are lately seen in Kruger on S1, it seems that they are trying to expand their territory southwest on S1, in their natal territory which is under control of Charleston Big Boy.. 

With 2 big coalitions of 4 on S1, Charleston Big Boy is under big pressure as lone male.

That’s unfortunate. I hope they stick around SS... they could have another pride soon with the Kambula breakaways who are turning 3 this year, plus the area could use some new blood. I wonder if the river is cutting them off now from the rest of the Sands so they’re forced to go back south.

They are many coalitions around Charleston Big Boy and i always hope that the 2 Talamati males sons of Selati and their partner son of Fourways take a territory on their own...
