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.

Yet, he does seem to be trailing them at times. We still have no idea who the two males were that chased the Imbali male, as far as I can tell, and given the condition of DM for awhile now, I am not sure it was him. A lot of moving parts around this pride currently.

It's basically male-less I guess. Silver eye and the other old girl seem to have had their last oestrus in 2018. And the younger girls haven't had their first yet (except the one). No real incentive for any males to try and gain control of it

S8 male and one of the Talamati breakaway females, daughter of the Selati males. That means she's likely have lost her new cubs.

Yeah, that's DM. I'm really glad he's with the pride, now if he can keep up.

Clipped ear alone in central Djuma this morning. About 400m from where Dark Mane was seen walking on the Dam Cam last night.

The S8/Imbali male is all what the Talamati females have been needed in the last time. An strong and healthy male. I hope this beast could left his offspring in the Talamati pride. Would be good has some new bloodline in the area. He turned into a massive beast, He was quite skittish when we saw him by first in the Manyeleti, Hamiltons and surroundings.
