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.

As per Chad Cocking. The lions that are roaring from the west could be the Vuyela pride. That's really interesting! They're are a coalition of five

That would be finnaly some update on Vuyelas as sadly we no longer have updates from Africa on Foot Klaserie region. I initially  thought guide mean roaring from direct west where are Giraffe pride with Monwana males while Vuelas are (or at least have been in last update on them quite a while ago) to the north-west from Tanda Tula.

New kids on the block. One of a new coalition of three males that have taken up residence @tanda.tula in the #Timbavati over the past few months, taking away a fair size chunk of the Mbiri males’ former territory. Will be some interesting times ahead in the lion world of this area...

I couldn't be more agree my friend! 
The Hercules and Sumatra male are on a really hard territory where they cannot conquered anything by any chance. The fact that the three Nharhu males have chased them away of the buffalo kill that both males made means a lot. Besides that Skorokoro (The injured Nharhu male) chased them away too are very good news. In the latest sightings of him he was limping a bit. So hopefully he will recover very well as the Sumatra male did

Do we know how old Hercules and Sumatra are, are they actual brothers? It seems that whatever happened when they were driven out of their pride, has made them really gun shy, especially given, as you said, that the three Nharhu males chased them off of their own kill. That is a big deal. Seems like every way they turn, they are running into trouble. They should take some lessons from Fang, and learn how to join them instead of being beaten by them.

I am still amazed by that Fang video, that is behavior that I certainly had never seen, and from the sounds of the narrator, it was really shocking to them as well.

Hercules isn't brother of the Sumatra.

Hercules was born in 2015/16 being one of the oldest sons of the Trilogy males. The Sumatra male should be around 8-9 years old and on short words is as the step-father of Hercules. He raising him on some point

Oh, OK, thank you for that @"TinoArmando" Hercules looks older than 4-5 to me, for some reason. What pride was Sumatra dominant over, that Hercules was born into? That is interesting that he raised Hercules like that, not a common occurrence.
