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.

Birmingham Lions - The Rise of a New Coalition in the Manyeleti (1st Quarter 2015) 

Over the past six months, a coalition of five young male lions have entered the Manyeleti borders. This young group of males originates from a large pride to the North of the reserve, called the Birmingham Pride. The coalition of five young males was forced to leave their maternal pride due to the very powerful and territorial Matimba lions, who dominate large parts of the Manyeleti. The five young males left the Birmingham Pride with three of their sisters and ran into a vacuum area (land where there are no territorial male lions). These five Birmingham youngsters are born and bred buffalo killers, and over the past few months, guests at Tintswalo Safari Lodge have witnessed some phenomenal interactions with these amazing cats taking down full grown, bull buffalo, to the ground - on a number of occasions. The young Birmingham male and female lions have started to mature, and pressure has come from the two Matimba Male Lions, pushing the five young Birmingham males far south of the reserve, and the females to the centre of the reserve.

Some old good photos of the Birmingham males in 2012 on Ngala Private Game Reserve 
It's really awesome how much Tinyo look as the Mbiri young male.
