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.

Like it or not, thats what "real" male lions do.
This is what makes them strong, they are showing full dominance and authority.
Male lions who "struggle" to keep their prides under their authority, will struggle to keep their rivals at bay.
Ndhzengas are displaying their strenght, amazing to watch.
I wonder what will be of young male lions one Sabi sands. Right there is young male lions and nomadic. Seems young Kambula male lions may have to go to Kruger. Young Kambula male lions may leave once other male lions come and Ndhzengas may leave. I wonder if NdZhengas male lions would cause them. Nehena and brother were with young sons and daughters. Hopefully they can stay longer. I am also wondering with four kambula male lions in the north and relatives of plain camp in north; would that maybe encourage plain camp to go to other areas in Sabi sands.

Well you can add 1 more there as it is said by Cedric (WildEarth) presenter when he is on a break from WildEarth this November and is in MalaMala for a tour he said he saw 10 young males in the Kambula Pride.

10 males? Wow.
Ten, and three young lionesses. Wonder how many young male lions stay together. There is possible five, six or seven may stay together or leave together. With those numbers wonder would they leave? They are young, but young male with menduvo is three almost four. Wonder if Ndhzenga would chase them sooner with many young male lions.
Honestly this is probably a good thing. These 10 will likely split in smaller groups even if none dies, and the Kambula pride may stick as one with 8 lionesses, if they had more females at this point it could end in more splits and devastation to the other prides.

they seem to get jump scared before we heard the lightning and I wonder if they heard it before us, atleast the first frequencies before us ( most likely did) wich is amazing to watch such behavior being displayed
Amhale ( I think its him) looking at the sky almost like following where the lightning was going was amazing, you would think such animals are used to these type of events and dont react much to it, maybe he just likes to see it who knows
One of the Ndhzenga was seen roaring in Hoffman's Property, then they found a lion with a swollen face, this afternoon they will try to find out who this lion is

This is in the north, I assume they had conflict with Kruger male/S. Avoca, or Mantimahles.

Southern avoca and Kruger male where seen both fine so I think it’s one of the mantimahles or maaaaybe a kambula male but I don’t think they’re in that area
