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 color of his eyes is stunning, but there seems to be something going on in his right eye. I zoomed it in, and whatever it is, perhaps it is just how his eye is, but it is inside of his eye, and not on it, as I first thought when I saw it.

Laughing lol
his mane is indeed looking really impressive. Similar to the bigger Trichardt male after he lost his mane and then started growing it back. Hopefully Smudge's mane will get to 'normal', it did develop alot in the past few months. All of the five brothers looking really healthy and strong, #3 being the skinniest in his hindquarters but still impressive.

THE NKUHLU MALES = 6
  • 2 ADULT MALES ± 6 YEARS 2 MONTHS
  • 4 ADULT MALES ± 5 YEARS 2 MONTHS

"Two of the males were attempting to hunt buffalo at Charleston Rock on the 25th and on the 27th, three of the males were at Rocky Crossing with two of the Sand River lionesses."



according to MalaMala, there has been no further sign of two Sand River pride cubs that were born september... I wonder whats up with this pride and its cubs.

I'm wondering g as well.   Smudge has some nice, big, dark elbow tufts going in. He's turning into a specimen for sure.

They count all 6 since they still consider the Nkuhlus as a 6 males coalition.
But the sightings they have say only saw 2 males at one occasion, and 3 males at another.
