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.
The Ntsevu Females are adjusting to life with the new Ndhzenga Males around. This particular female has spent a lot of time with one male in particular. We are unsure if they have mated, but if not it is only a matter of time before they do. As there Ndhzenga Males try to sire their own cubs with the Ntsevu Females.

Ok, Actually what the impression I am getting is 3 nwaswitshaka males ( Amhale, Uboso and Euronji) are in mala mala londolozy trying to woo 3 kambula girls. Out of three males, Amhale id injured ( limping), euronji and uboso are in good health.
The 4th one, Gore, with stomach injury, is with styx pride, which is also moving north towards the rest three.
So basically, only 3 kambula girls are hiding with their 2-3 cubs, and will most probably join the party if the cubs die.
Also from the past few days, one of the nwaswitshaka males is following the mangheni pride too and might be planning to convince them too.
Also, I think there is one southern pride lone female too. Isn't it?? She too had 2-3 female cubs.
What about them??
How's they doing??
Or are southern Avocas planning to acquire her( they are expert in acquiring a single lioness and make babies with her?????. They had done it many times recently).

No, they are under Nwaswitshakas rule.

Kambulas still have 4 cubs from what I was last tracking. Three from K3 whom are about 10 months old and one cub which is from the middle litter maybe 6 months old.
In the early morning two of the N’waswishaka male lions had been found after seeing their tracks on many different roads. The two walked confidently as they went about scent marking their territory, a frequent and essential part of a male lion’s morning routine.

After spending the afternoon with the adult lionesses from the Styx Pride, we followed them until they led us to where they had left the cubs allowing us the privilege to see them reunite after a few hours of being separated. The following morning, we found and followed their tracks for quite some time and found them emerging from a riverbed and eventually stopped to rest underneath the shade of a tree, grooming one another to strengthen their bonds. It was good to see them all with full stomachs!

In the afternoon, as the rain started to fall, we headed out undeterred to try and see something! Two of the N’waswishaka male lions had stayed in the spot they were left in the morning and so we decided to make our way there
Finally reunited, the Styx Pride was resting contentedly in the shade. Some of the youngsters played amongst themselves while their mothers and siblings slept and one little individual sat alone in the long grass, curiously keeping an eye on us. This morning, we tracked them for quite some distance and our hard work paid off as we found them, as well as two of the N’waswishaka male lions close to Selati Camp.
In the very first comments of this thread, I havehave learned that in late 2019,the eldest of the 4 was around 5 yrs old, the middle one was 4.5 yrs old and youngest 2 are 4 yrs olold.
Can someone tell who is who?
Also am I the only one to whom the injury of gore is resembling more of a tumour type. Few months ago, it was only a little flesh that was hanging out. But it's getting bigger and biggerbigger. Really nothing can be done to confort him?
