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.

A guide said that PCM dominated most of the chasing in the clash with Ndhzengas, which is different from what was first reported by ( I think another guide ) who said "Ndhzengas won because it was in their territory and PCM returned to the West".
We also only had footage of PCM chasing, not the opposite, and now they were deep in Ndhzengas territory again, only 1-2km away of the Ntsevu pride.
So instead of a clear cut victory like "Ndhzengas chased PCM back to the West" it was probably more of a stalemate with PCM doing better but returning because they weren't trying to take over nor anything, as I don't think they would so quickly invade again if their confidence had taken a blow by straight up losing to the resident males.
Still we didn't get a clear account/report of the clash so who knows, thing is, Ndhzengas must keep their eyes open in Londolozi, while the Kambula pride can probably defend itself if push comes to shove, the Ntsevu pride would have a hard time stopping the PCM.
Not only that, PCM are now neighbors to the Ntsevu who have territory in the north of Londolozi and MalaMala.
I think is like you said a lot of speculation. I do not think there was an actual video of the Ndhzenga male lions and Plain Camp male lions chasing. I mean on the video but it must of happened. All it is known the Plain then just left. I wonder if this was the video where they actually first started going towards them. It must of been the hippo and the lions that made them go that way. The 3 lionesses have a few cubs and they are very young. Hopefully they can stay away. They must still be traveling north and to the Ximunguwe lionesses. I wonder if they have been with the Tsalala lionesses maybe they have and they just haven’t been seen together.
